Some adverse effects of using more pesticides and fertilisers are:
i) Fertilisers and pesticides contain chemicals in them. These
chemicals are often mixed with water and then sprayed on the crops. These chemicals are harmful for human consumption.
ii) Since they easily mix with water they can also go into the soil and pollute groundwater and streams.
iii)Not just that, these chemicals also smell bad.
