substance added to help plants grow
A natural or chemical substance that people put on soil or plants to give them food and help them grow better.
用法パターン：
[someone] applies [fertilizer] to [soil/plants]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "fertilizer" with "pesticide." A fertilizer feeds plants and helps them grow, while a pesticide kills insects or other pests. Some learners also think fertilizer is only chemical, but it can be natural (like compost or manure) or synthetic.
