Obstruct the use of NPK fertilizers in hazardous agricultural practices

Since 2012, the open-access journal Agrotechnology has published articles that have undergone peer review. The Journal discusses a range of agrotechnology topics, such as watersheds, nutrient management technology, weather forecasting, technologies to combat abiotic stress, crop selection, land reclamation and remediation technology, recycling of organic components, agrometeorology, nursery management, agroforestry, agro-hydro modelling, dry land farming, and more. The magazine focuses on disseminating latest innovations and breakthroughs in management technology, resource conservation, agricultural production, and development as well as concepts and approaches for sustainable development.

Rice, cassava, sorghum, bananas, and sesame seeds may all be grown without the use of harmful NPK fertiliser (nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium). Ammonia nitrate is used in the manufacture of bombs and is a significant source of carbon and pollution in several mining sites across the globe. The other 2 NPK fertiliser components, such as phosphates and potassium, are equally harmful and contaminate the environment. History and civilization have shown that crops grown for human use do not require hazardous NPK fertilisers that are harmful to the environment, the soil, and both human and animal health. There are numerous dead zones in our ocean and water systems, and red tides and algal blooms are growing there as well, destroying the biodiversity of the water and the microorganisms that sustain human existence.

The widespread use of harmful NPK fertilisers has harmed our environment, as well as the water, soil, land, animals, mankind, and biodiversity. About 80–95% of high-soluble NPK fertiliser applications are lost to neighbouring water systems when they are put to any soil. All of the NPK fertiliser applied cannot be absorbed by the crop's roots. (Precision applications on soil are nonexistent.) Eutrophication results from NPK fertilisers leaching into the water and ocean system, which causes hazardous algal blooms in the neighbouring ocean and water system. Fish and marine organisms that are a component of our life-supporting ecology and biodiversity are also wiped out by anoxia and hypoxia (loss of oxygen) in water. When marine organisms and fish are left to rot in the water system, cyanobacteria rapidly start to change and accelerate the degradation process. Animals, humans, and other species can all suffer greatly from cyanobacteria-contaminated water systems, red tides, and toxic algal blooms.

Neurodegenerative conditions including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease are brought on by cyanotoxins from cyanobacteria (FROM USA CDC site). When marine organisms and fish are allowed to decompose in the water system, cyanobacteria quickly start to mutate and accelerate the process, which leads to even greater deterioration. Red tides, toxic algal blooms, and cyanobacteria in water systems are devastating to marine life and can be lethal to both animals and people. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease are neurodegenerative disorders that are caused by cyanotoxins from cyanobacteria.
