These are either derived from <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Natural sources \u2013 what we call Organic\nFertilizers for example, Cow dung, vermicompost and many other stuff. <\/li><li>Inorganic or Chemical Fertilizers like NPK\ncrystals, DAP, Urea and so on.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I will list out the harmful negative effects or the\ndangers of Chemical fertilizers and Pesticides that you frequently use in\nfarming or home gardening. &nbsp;You please make\na decision yourself after watching this video till the end.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Ground water\nPollution:<\/strong> &nbsp;Nitorgen fertilizers\nbreak down into nitrates and can easily go down into the soil. These are\nwater-soluble and can accumulate in groundwater for decades. And if you keep\nadding more nitrogen over the years, this will have a cumulative effect. Moreover,\nthese effects of chemical fertilizers are compounded when you mix or use a\nchemical pesticide.<br>\nYou know the Fertilizer Urea, produces ammonia and contributes to acid rain,\ngroundwater contamination and ozone depletion due to release of nitrous oxide\nby denitrification process. If we continue this in future, this hazard may\nincrease several fold in the coming decades. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And\nremember! studies have shown that <\/strong>&nbsp;Groundwater contamination has been linked to stomach\ncancer, goitre (thyroid enlargement), birth defects in babies, and &nbsp;also hypertension. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Aquatic life is also significantly\naffected by water pollution and fish and other water animals may not get\nadequate oxygen and they can die. These are called Dead zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Air\nPollution:<\/strong> Excessive use of chemical NPKs can release greenhouse gases such\nas carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. These can cause respiratory\nproblems, cardiac disease, and many cancers. A special mention about&nbsp; the Blue Baby Syndrome, medically called\nmethemoglobinemia occurs in infants and one cause of this problem is attributed\nto chemical over use and pollution where due to reduced oxygen in blood, the\nbaby turns blue.<\/li><li><strong>Fertilizer\nBurn:<\/strong> You can burn your favourite plants and crops if used excessively \u2013\nspecially leaf burn and root burn. This fertilizer burn can even kill your\nfavourite plant in addition to the hazards it causes to the environment. This\nfertilizer burn will not happen when you use organic or natural fertilizers.<\/li><li>Depletion of Beneficial Organic Matter,\nbeneficial Microbes and even Minerals from the Soil \u2013 that is reduced SOIL\nFERTILITY: This loss of organic matter can lead to soil acidification, soil\ncompaction and hardening and other ill effects which makes it vulnerable to soil\nerosions. Researchers also say that depletion of minerals from the soil can\nalso lead to low quality foods with lesser mineral and vitamin content.<\/li><li>Though chemical fertilizers will help plants\ngrow faster; plants will not be healthy and strong as plants grown in this\nmanner do not have enough time to mature and develop a strong root system and strong\nstems, or good nutritious fruits and vegetables. And also they will be less\nlikely to survive because they will be more susceptible to pests and diseases\nas they lack good immune system against pest attacks. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bottom Line: is There is a large threat to environment,\nanimals and human health; chemical fertilizers will ultimately end up leaking\ninto our water bodies; ponds, streams, ground water etc. and contaminate water\nsupply as a result of which humans as well as animals may suffer numerous short\nterm and long term hazardous chemical effects on their health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Lets together take a pledge today to stop using these chemical fertilizers and pesticides and start using organic fertilizers and pesticides to keep our mother earth safe, for the present and for the future!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NEVER USE NPK DAP UREA - 5  HAZARDS OF CHEMICAL FERTILIZER PESTICIDE in Gardening &amp; Farming\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RRQz0aYKPms?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we will discuss on a very important topic \u2013 Dangers of Chemical Fertilizers and Pesticides and the best alternatives to chemical NPK fertilizers and chemical pesticides to protect our mother nature.\u00a0 We all know that plants need Major Primary Nutrients \u2013 that\u2019s NPK \u2013 nitrogen phosphrous and potassium and also the Secondary or trace &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2845,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[410,936,403,937,404],"tags":[1596,1593,1599,1592,563,1594,1591,1597,1601,571,938,1595,1521,707,1600,1598],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2844"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2844"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2844\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2846,"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2844\/revisions\/2846"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gkvks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
