Another reason is the restrictions on the herbicides, pesticides and agricultural fertilizers that enhance the yield, as the farmers claim. Actually those strategies worked out well but due to the use of its high dosage over the optimum level, it created a highly polluted environment and negatively impacted the beneficial microorganisms for agriculture. It changed the composition and abundance of the beneficial microorganisms for agriculture while changing ecology of the soil. These little guys fulfill not only nitrogen requirements of the plants but also other nutrients that are essential for the plant growth. Empowering and managing these microorganisms is a good strategy for that.So let the silent engines be the noisy ones.
