Solution
Agricultural waste, being organic in nature, undergoes fermentation and creates conditions favourable for the growth of pathogens.
Explanation:
Agricultural waste is rich in organic matter; microbial breakdown under anaerobic conditions causes fermentation, releasing heat, nutrients and foul gases. These warm, moist, nutrient-rich, low-oxygen conditions favour pathogen survival and multiplication, raising disease risk.
