Abstract

Vast industrialization and population expansion forced an increase in the utilization of natural resources for human survival. Agriculture is a critical process in which livestock and growth of crops have to be balanced equally. Humans completely depend on agriculture for food and nutrition. Presently, the agricultural sector faces destructive activities due to chemical fertilizers and pesticides which cause environmental pollution. Agricultural pollution signifies biotic and abiotic side effects of cultivating practices that outcome in infection and deterioration of the environment and encompassing biological communities, as well as causing health effects to humans. Eutrophication, loss of biodiversity, contamination of soil, air, and water, depletion of fertility of soil are a few causes of agricultural pollution. Management of these pollutants includes replacement with biological formulations, run-off water treatment, minimizing use of nutrients, and livestock management. Thus, there is a need for securing the agriculture sector for crop productivity and handling country's economy.
