. Excessive Use of Fertilizers and Pesticides:
Fertilizers are indispensable for increasing food production but their excessive use has occasioned much concern as a possible environmental threat. Excessive use of fertilizers is causing an imbalance in the quantity of certain nutrients in the soil. This imbalance adversely affects the vegetation.
Desertification
Desertification is a widespread process of land degradation in arid, semi- arid, and dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities. The UNO Conference on Desertification (1977) has defined desertification as the “diminution or destruction of the biological potential of land, and can lead ultimately to desert like conditions.”
