Solution

If plants are not growing well, fertilizing them will help only if a lack of nutrients is the cause of the problem. Plants grown in poorly drained soils, in excessive shade, or in competition with tree roots will not respond to fertilizer.

Fertilizers are either organic or inorganic. Examples of organic fertilizers include manure (poultry, cow or horse), bone meal, cottonseed, or other naturally occurring materials. Inorganic fertilizers are man made products. They usually have a higher nutrient content.
Fertilizer affects plant growth by supplementing plant nutrients, which allows plants to grow faster and thicker. However, this applies only if the soil is deficient in nutrients. Fertilizer does not compensate for other growth-inhibiting factors such as lack of water, poor soil preparation and weeds.
And also we add more ferllizer then growth is slower rate due to here is not that the fertilizer is taking any nutrients from the soil, but actually the large amount of fertilizer in the soil is making if very hard for the plant to absorb water. ... -Adding too much of one nutrient can make it difficult for plants to absorb other nutrients.
