The use of chemical fertilizers is also increasing day by day. Phosphate, nitrogen and other organic chemicals in chemical fertilizers are polluting the environment and groundwater resources of the land. The most dangerous pollutant is biochemistry due to which the micro-organisms of the climate and other soil are being destroyed, consequently, the quality of the soil is decreasing. Toxic chemicals enter the food chain, making them accessible to the top consumer. Excessive use of Phosphatic Fertilizers has led to the deaths of cancer in Malwa province of Punjab. It is important to note that soil overcrowding is spreading very fast with more use of fertilizer. We have to take appropriate measures to stop this.
