pls mark me brainliest
1. Increased use of fertilizers, pesticides have badly affected the fertility of soil, in turn impacting overall agricultural production.
2. Scarcity of water- Till today most of the farmers are dependent on monsoons to meet their irrigation needs which again affects production. Scarcity of water reduces the area under irrigation.
3. Excessive Irrigation by some farmers- excessive irrigation increases salinisation of the soil,due to evaporation that affects the fertility of soil. Irrigation may also lead to water logging of the soil which in turn effects the production of crops.Many large scale farmers have their own private wells or tube wells and over use the water, this has led to reduction in the ground water level.
4. Green revolution has turned out to be partial revolution, not all states and farmers have benefited from it in terms of increasing their production.
