      How do the chemical fertilisers affect the soil, groundwater, rivers and lakes? What were the effects of use of chemical fertilisers in Punjab?

    Answer:

      Chemical fertilisers can also kill some useful bacteria and other microorganisms in the soil. This means that after their use for some-time, the soil will be less fertile than before. The consumption of chemical fertilisers in Punjab is the highest in the country. The continuous use of chemical fertilisers has led to degradation of soil health. Punjab farmers are now forced to use more and more chemical fertilisers and other inputs to achieve the same production level. This means cost of cultivation is rising very fast.                                     (3)
