What are the solution to soil degradation?
The best way is to grow leguminous plants. We should use natural manure instead of fertilizers. Manure increases the yield year by year slowly, but fertilizers give a good yield for a few years and then, the soil slowly degrades. Farmers should be well-educated of the harms of fertilizers. Biodegradable wastes can be dumped into a pit, this increases the nutrients in soil.
What do farmers use to make the soil more productive?
This depends on the basic soil condition and what type of plants you wish to grow. It the soil is in poor condition then humus,compost or other conditioners would improve the soil structure. Once the soil structure is sorted out apply fertilizer to the manufacturers instructions.
How excess use of fertilizres leads to soil erosion?
The excess use of fertilizers does not of itself lead to soil erosion. It is agriculture - the clear felling and working of land that was once covered by trees or natural vegetation that leads to soil erosion. The roots of stable plants "bind" the soil - remove these plants and the soil will wash or blow away.
Research on the manufacture and the use of organic and inorganic fertilizers and how these affect the environment?
Organic fertilizers are manufactured using only naturally existing elements, while inorganic fertilizers use chemical compounds that contain the same types of minerals and nutrients as organic fertilizers. An organic fertilizer might use fish emulsions to add certain nutrients to the soil, while an inorganic fertilizer might use a man made acid based compound to fulfill the same need as the fish emulsions. Organic fertilizers are often times absorbed much more easily into the environment with little side effects, although any runoff of nutrient rich water can affect a watershed's territory. The main problem with inorganic fertilizers is that they use "steroid" like compounds to maintain faster vegetative and flowering growth cycles.
How agriculture causes soil degradation?
Building on it , walking on it, not using it properly and contaminating it. Construction of any type, mining, deforestation, agricultural soil depletion from poor cultivation practices, creation of dams, manufacturing pollutants, sod farming, improper use of pesticides/insecticides/herbicides and fertilizers, and overpopulation in general.
What fertilizers do a gardener use?
soil
How do fertilizers affect resources?
the affect of fertilizers on the resources is that our farmers use fertilizers in order to maintain the fertility of soil except organic fertilizers
How nutrients can be replenished in the soil without the use of fertilizers?
by manure.
How do you people in russia alter the soil to produce wheat?
well, we use fertilizers.
Why do farmers use artificial fertilizers?
So that their crops grow better. But, some fertilizers make it harder for microorganisms in the soil to produce nutrients naturally.
How are the use of fertilizers and pesticides harmful to soil?
they leave chemicals in the soil that can harm the soil and can even cause harm to near plants and disease to some animals
Compare the use of manure and fertilizers in maintaining soil fertility?
Manures contains many organic substances of biological origin which can be easily degraded and absorbed by plants.Its helps in recycling of biological waste they increase soil fertility of the soil for long duration without causing any harm.The chemical fertilizers on other hand,improve soil fertility for short duration but cause environmental hazards.Continose use of fertilizers in particular area causes destruction of the soil fertility.
Indiscriminate use of fertilizers and peticides?
Stop the use of pesticides because it is not good for the environment. But don't stop using fertilizers because they are good for the environment or at least some of them are!
Why fertilizers should not be used excessively?
because exessive use of fertilizer can take away the natural quality of soil.

Is it true that synthetic fertilizers harm soils structure and organisms living in the soil such as earthworms?
