Question

A farmer had been using a particular insecticide for a long time. What consequences will it have on soil ecosystem?

Answer 1

Using insecticides is safe at times when the insect population is increased, but besides, it also has disadvantages like the increasing infertility of soil. Long-term use of insecticides may have harmful impact on the soil quality, which ultimately can lead to a decrease of quality of plant growth and yield. Also, it may affect the surrounding habitat.
