false because bleach is not used in fertlizers

The given statement is False

Bleach such as chlorine when mixed in fertilizers acts as a killing agent for plants .The bleach runoff is not affected by the fertilizers containing bleach as they do not kill the Aquatic flora. Marine bleaching is caused due to high temperature of water not because of the fertilizers. In marine bleaching the coral will expel algae when the temperature of water is high. These results in discoloration of corals making them white and they can survive in this condition. This proves that the bleaching inside the marine system is because of high temperature not because of runoff.
