If a person were to add chemical fertilizer to a pond to spur an algae

Depends on how you label "organic gardening." Personally, I define
it as the ability to rotate polarized light. If you want more algae
in the pond, allow more sunlight to it (cut overhanging branches or
remove a tree). I have lots of extra algae (and azola, and anacharis)
if you want to come get it.
