Scientists are studying fertilizers to help grass grow in southern California. Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to soil to help plants grow in it. In other words, fertilizer makes soil more fertile. The scientists set up different plots of land that all use the same type of soil and grass seed, but they use different types of fertilizer in each plot.
