Agriculture requires good fertile soil, healthy seeds and effective farming methods that will help in the growth of thriving crops. The fertility of the soil depends on the quality of harvest. If the soil is overused or is spoilt from excessive use of fertilizers; crop yield and output will also decrease gradually. Cases of plant immunity being affected due to excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides are also reported from various parts of the world. Hence, it is better to have proper rotation of fertilizers that are natural and chemical which will aid in retaining the fertility of the soil.
