Solution
They are environment friendly
Explanation:
Fertilisers are not environment friendly as they are chemical substances rich in particular nutrients. Though they increase the crop yield, the repeated and excessive use of fertilisers in the same field reduces the soil fertility. It also pollutes water bodies as they get dissolved and washed away by rain and also seeps into the water table posing threats to humans.
