what impact will aditional water pumps dry season croping , fertilizers , pesticides and other food insecurity solutions have on the environment

Answer 1

Answer:

Irrigation helps to grow agricultural crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall. Irrigation also has other uses in crop production, including frost protection, suppressing weed growth in grain fields and preventing soil consolidation. Irrigation not only contributes to increased crop production but may also reduce variability in production through improved control of the crop environment. However, the dependence of modern seed-fertilizer technology on irrigation and fertilizer, which are subject to unreliable supply, may contribute to increased variability in production.
