If a farmer decides to stop using chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides on his crops, fungi will grow on the plants’ roots to help the plants get more nutrients.
Pesticide is a generic term that refers to all the chemical substances that are used to prevent attack on plants by other living organisms. Fertilizers are chemicals that are added to the soil to aid plant growth.
However, these pesticides have a harmful effect on fungi which helps to increase the uptake of water and nutrients by plants and also to increase availability of nutrients to the plant roots.
