Answer

How can it lead to both acidity and alkalinity

Answer

Fertilizers are made up of chemicals either acidic or basic and improper use of acidic fertilizers can cause soil acidity and improper use of basic fertilizers can cause soil alkalinity

so, improper use of fertilizers can cause option a) soil alkalinity and soil acidity

Answer

ANSWER :
• Improper usage of Inorganic Fertilizer cause Soil alkalinity and Soil acidity

Answer

Improper use of fertilizers can alter soil pH, causing soil acidity or alkalinity.

•Soil Acidity:
- {Acidic Fertilizers} : Fertilizers like ammonium sulfate and urea release hydrogen ions when broken down, increasing soil acidity.
- (Mechanism) :Nitrogen fertilizers (in ammonium form) convert to nitrate, releasing hydrogen ions and lowering pH.

•Soil Alkalinity:
- {Alkaline Fertilizers} : Fertilizers like calcium nitrate increase soil pH by adding basic ions.
- (Mechanism): These fertilizers neutralize soil acids, raising pH and causing alkalinity.

Hope this answer is helpful to you
