Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{SOLUTION}$

Fertilizers are chemicals used in agriculture to increase yields that are used to aid plant growth.

Further Explanation

These chemicals, which dissolve quickly in water, are used in soil or by spraying on leaves.

Plants absorb fertilizers from the soil by roots and leaves when sprayed overhead.

Fertilizers are the means of immediate replenishment of essential elements for plants, but their use also has some side effects. They do not persist in soil for long.

After irrigation, these chemicals along with water reach the ground water table and contaminate it.

They also prove fatal for bacteria and microorganisms present in the soil. Therefore, the use of organic manure as an alternative to fertilizer is becoming increasingly popular. Chemical fertilizer is most commonly used in Punjab in India.
