I. INTRODUCTION

Cultivating a new type of food source in a new environment has always been a norm in humans.
Everything that can be eaten or grown on a new planet will have a huge impact on the people on the
planet. Although there may be several benefits to humans, consequences can also occur, especially the
effects of harvesting several newly cultivated crops. The purpose of this lab simulation experiment is to
identify the causes of a consistent decline in the annual production of Whean crops, the meaning and
purpose of fertilizers, and the effects on the planet. The experiment is mainly about growing Whean crops
and is limited to some given factors of studies such as fertilizers, dead organisms, and the atmospheric
deposition that affects the growth of Whean Crops. Hence, identifying the main problems in the growth of
Whean crops will be accurate.

III. CONCLUSION

In conclusion, after the lab simulation of the experiment, the results showed that various effect of
fertilizer was found in the phosphorus cycle of the soil. The experiment also identified the effects of
fertilizers, showing that the fertilizer used in growing Whean crops did a good job of nourishing the crop and
did not cause any adverse effects on the soil. The rationale behind this is due to the fertilizer reaction along
with the phosphorus cycle that produces the nutrients of the Whean crops. Moreover, learning first the
study of fertilizer provided a good beneficiary by understanding whether it will give good or bad effects to
the crops and, also by studying the process of the phosphorus cycle, it has been a great help by fully
understanding the consequences of using fertilizer.
