1. Disparity in consumption of fertilizers where the district-wise fertilizer consumption in the country varies from 50-200 kg/ha.
2. Excessive use of chemical fertilizer (150-200 kg/ha) as reported from some states like Punjab and Haryana causing destruction of useful microorganisms, insects and worms in soil.
3. Imbalance in nutrient status causing significant deficiency of N, P, K, Zn, S, Mo and B and disturbance of soil texture and its physicochemical properties.
4. Environmental degradation like depletion of stratospheric ozone, nitrate toxication etc. causing health hazards like cancer, methamoglobinemia respiratory illness, hypertension etc.
5. Pollution with heavy metals and pesticide chemicals causing serious damage to food quality from the safety point of view.

Some harmful effects of green revolution are -
★ It caused degradation on soil due to excessive use of chemical fertilisers.
★It also caused water pollution as pestices used in fields mixed with river water.
★During the revolution production rate increased but it had declined after the revolution due to infertility
