The Fertilizer can be used in poor soil to make it fertile immediately. They add a sufficient amount of nutrients needed by the plant. Chemical fertilizers are made with synthetic ingredients designed to stimulate plant growth. Commercial chemical fertilizers have the advantage of predictability and reliability. Formulations are blended with accuracy and one can buy different blends for different types of plants. When it comes to the advantages of using fertilizers in agriculture, it's all about efficiency. Though chemical fertilizers increase crop production; their overuse has hardened the soil, decreased fertility, strengthened pesticides, polluted air and water and released greenhouse gases, thereby bringing hazards to human health and environment as well. Use of excessive quantity of synthetic fertilizers is harmful for human health. High levels of nitrates and nitrites in chemical fertilizer may cause some disease like hemoglobin disorders, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes mellitus. Some of these impacts include algae blooms causing the depletion of oxygen in surface waters, pathogens and nitrates in drinking water, and the emission of odors and gases into the air. In this context this article is intended to study the production and consumption pattern, substitute of chemical fertilizers and environmental implications of excess use of fertilizer and manure on water quality in India.
