(i) Pesticides are harmful to soil biota. Therefore, they reduce soil fertility.
(ii) They pass into ground water and make it toxic.
(iii) They enter the crop plants and make their products (leaves, stem, flowers, fruits and seeds) toxic.
(iv) Pesticides pass into surface water through run off form sprayed fields and harm the aquatic biota.
Merits. 1. Economically important desired fishes are made available. 2. A large number of fishes are raised in a small area. 3. Fishes are made to breed in different seasons. 4. There is a little mortality in the younger stages of the fishes. 5. Through selective hybridisation, yield and quality ofRead more
Merits. 1. Economically important desired fishes are made available.
2. A large number of fishes are raised in a small area.
3. Fishes are made to breed in different seasons.
4. There is a little mortality in the younger stages of the fishes.
5. Through selective hybridisation, yield and quality of fishes are improved.
demerits1. Only some selected high yielding and economically important breeds are reared.
2′ Fish culture is a threat.to biodiversity, since other forms of aquatic organisms are being ignored. Even natural waters are-being seeded with economically important fishes; this too is affecting the natural biodiversity of the water bodies.
In agriculture, higher yield can be obtained only by applying higher yielding varieties, improved farming practices modern technology, latest agricultural machines and implements, nutrient supply, etc. All these require high cost and knowledge of new techniques and improvements. Therefore, a farmer'Read more
In agriculture, higher yield can be obtained only by applying higher yielding varieties, improved farming practices modern technology, latest agricultural machines and implements, nutrient supply, etc. All these require high cost and knowledge of new techniques and improvements. Therefore, a farmer’s purchasing capacity for inputs determines the cropping system and production exercises.
Compost:- 1. it is prepared from all types of organic remains garbage, sewage, sludge, animal refuse, farm waste, straw, uprooted weeds, etc. 2. Organic remains are decomposed by released enzymes of the microorganisms. 3. It takes 3 to 6 months to prepare. Vermicompost:- 1. It is prepared from domesRead more

Some require high temperature, some low temperature, longer duration of sunlight, shorter duration of sunlight, more humidity, low humidity, moderate humidity, loam soil, sandy soil, etc. Apple cannot be gror.tn in plains because it requires several days of low temperature. In plains, there are two major seasons of crop plants: kharif (rainy season) and rabi (winter season).
