Match the following undesirable effects of organic matter with their effects: Allelopathy | Limits plant nutrient uptake Toxic residues | May harm neighboring plants Microbial competition | Inhibits plant growth Nitrogen tie-up | Reduces nitrogen availability
Understand the Problem
The question is asking us to match undesirable effects of organic matter to their respective effects on plants. Each effect needs to be correctly paired with the corresponding issue it causes.
Answer
Allelopathy: May harm neighboring plants; Toxic residues: Inhibits plant growth; Microbial competition: Limits plant nutrient uptake; Nitrogen tie-up: Reduces nitrogen availability
Allelopathy - May harm neighboring plants; Toxic residues - Inhibits plant growth; Microbial competition - Limits plant nutrient uptake; Nitrogen tie-up - Reduces nitrogen availability
Answer for screen readers
Allelopathy - May harm neighboring plants; Toxic residues - Inhibits plant growth; Microbial competition - Limits plant nutrient uptake; Nitrogen tie-up - Reduces nitrogen availability
More Information
Allelopathy involves chemicals released by plants that can impact neighboring plants, often harming their growth. Toxic residues from chemicals can directly affect plant growth. Microbial competition can limit the nutrients plants can absorb because soil microbes consume them. Nitrogen tie-up occurs when microbes use nitrogen, reducing its availability for plants.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the effects since terms like 'allelopathy' and 'toxic residues' can both be linked to harming other plants.
