what are the disadvantage of green revolution?

High yield varieties are costly, lack taste
Irrigation may lead to salination
Cultivation of unsuitable land – soil erosion
Eutrophication
Poorest farmers did not benefit selling up toricher farmers
Unemployment – rural to urban migration
Cash cropping for a global market may notincrease food supply locally

 Demerits of Green Revolution:

  • Poor farmers could not afford HYV seeds, fertilizers and machinery.
  • Some borrowed and ended up with large debts
  • HYV seeds need more water and fertilizer, which is expensive
  • New machinery replaced manual labour leading to unemployment and rural-urban migration
  • The Green Revolution was limited to rice and wheat only.

1. It can cause pests and weeds to develop hazards: This modern method of farming is believed to cause the emergence of poisonous weeds and pests that are difficult to control. Aside from this, there is also the concern of cross pollination between genetically modified organisms and traditional plants that could result in invasive species.   2. It employs mono-culturing: One of the biggest arguments against this modern technology is that it uses mono-culturing. This practice is known to require large tracts of land, which are not often available, intensive amounts of fertilizers and large volumes of water, bring about difficulties to farmers.   3. It would have difficulties with varied soil type by location: As the Green Revolution does not take into consideration the type of soil for farming, only considering the area and doing what it needs for crop cultivation, it does not do anything to ensure soil fertility is replenished or retained.

green revolution is quite disadvantagous as it involves use of large amount of pesticides , chemical fertilizers which affects the quality of soil badly more over hyv seeds require in large quantity of water which is sometime not possible for farmers to get.

By the excessive use of HYV seeds ,chemical fertilisers ,and pesticides soil is loosing its fertility because the none.amount of nutrient is left for the next crop as all the nutrients are taken by one .crop

It help farmers to increase more production on same land.

Disadvantages~ ●over production caused the land loose its fertility.. ●since more water and pest control was needed, it caused depletion of resources ●the overuse of pesticide also lead to health problems

The demerits are:-
1.It was very costly.
2.It caused excessive use of nutrients in the soil leading to soil degradation
3.It required more water as compared to normal irrigation,thus leading to reduction of water table.
4.The excessive use of chemical fertilizers lead to mixing of these with underground water,thus contaminating underground water
5.It gave high yields only in some states like Haryana and Punjab.

Increase use of chemical fertilizers caused loss of soil fertility . Continuous use of ground water for tube well irrigation has reduced the water in the water table. Excessive use of fertilizers on crops is harmful for our health Environmental resources like land and water are degraded. Once they destroyed it is very difficult to restore them They cause soil pollution and water pollution

Disadvantages of green revolution are: 1:we have to use more water by that the water level go below the ground. 2:By the chemical fertilizer and pesticides the soil loses its fertility 3: It may cause many diseases ex- cancer.

green revolution is associated with loss of soil fertility due to increased use of chemical fertilizers

The disadvantage of Green Revolution are given below:
1. For higher production high dozes of fertilizers were used.
2. Green Revolution associated with the loss of soil fertility due to increase use of chemical fertilizers.
3. The continuous use of ground water, lake water, etc; has reduced the water table under the ground.
4. Environmental resources like soil fertility, ground wateretc; are built up over many years. Once, destroyed it is very difficult to restore them.

The Green Revolution in India refers to a period when Indian?agriculture?was converted into an industrial system due to the adoption of modern methods and technology such as the use of?high yield variety seeds, tractors, irrigation facilities, pesticides, and fertilizers. It was mainly found by?MS Swaminathan. This was part of the larger?Green Revolution endeavor initiated by Norman which leveraged agricultural research and technology to increase agricultural productivity in the developing world.
It's disadvantages are:
1. It can cause pests and weeds to develop hazards.
2. It employs mono-culturing.
3. It would have difficulties with varied soil type by location.

In green revolution the HIY seed is using it increase the production of crop but the seed are unhealthy for us
In this time mostly chemical fertilizers are use it increase the production of crop but it decrease the own fertility or humas of soil
And last point in green revolution the newly technology machine but in it the labour power is used

The disadvantages or demerits of green revolution are:

1.The excessive use of chemical fertilisers leads to low soil structure

2. Continuous usage of tubewells for irrigation will result in depletion of ground water

3. The chemical fertilisers could easily dissolve soil there by they could mix in the water below the ground and pollute the underground water

4. The fertilisers and pesticides which are used in modern farming methods could make soil alkaline
