One thing to know is that over fertilization of nitrogen fertilizer will

You mean that nitrate deposition in the leaves of plants, caused by
salts of nitrates (NO3-) from chemical fertilizers, will attract insects
who wish to eat those leaves for there nitrate content. It isn't caused
by over fertilization, or over application, call it what you may, it is
caused by the use of chemical fertilizers.
