The Harm of Chemical Fertilizers
Editorials News | Dec-16-2017
Would you like it if we ingested your body with chemicals every now and then? So why do the same to plants. Using chemical fertilizers as nutrient source to boost the plant growth is not a healthy way to treat the soil and the plants. We are seeing a massive use of chemical fertilizers in the third world countries to cater to the extra food requirement.
This over use of chemical fertilizers is leading to a number of environmental issues and health problems among the humans. This also causes a permanent damage to the soil in the area where it is used and leaves it unfit to grow crops after a point of time.
The need of the hour is to shift the system from chemical to organic to not just maintain and improve the soil quality but also reduce the harm that it is causing to us.
