Answer:

hi friends

here is your answer

Explanation:

if cereals are grown in soil rich in pesticides, it can pose a potential risk to humans and other life forms and can result in unwanted side effects to the environment. Pesticides are lethal to non targeted species also. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, because they are sprayed or spread across entire agricultural fields. The extensive use of pesticides in agricultural production can degrade and damage the community of micro-organisms living in soil, particularly when these chemicals are overused or misused as chemical compounds build up in the soil.
