Soil Loss

Another peculiar phenomenon has been that of soil loss. This is happening and widely too due to both natural as well as man-made factors. Dryland agriculture in our state has to focus more on this soil loss as more arid tracks mean more impoverished people.

In conclusion it could be said that toxic bio-accumulation of chemical fertilisers and pesticides in water and soil has left a cumulative non-linear adverse effect on water quality, soil productivity as well as on human and animal health. Chemically induced and protected agriculture coupled with subsidised irrigation and energy use, have encouraged the wasteful practice of supporting mono- culture crops with ever-increasing doses of resources use per unit area of production, regardless of the actual crop-need.
