Introduction
The population of the nation is growing tremendously; facing the problem of
the paucity of food and decrease in agricultural land due to increased demand of
dwelling. To overcome this problem and to boost agricultural produce, Govt. of
India had formulated Dr. Swaminathan Committee. Accordingly the
recommendations of the committee were implemented and the nation witnessed the
‘Green Revolution’ and we had surplus production of food, so that we become the
exporters in the world. However, this revolution was temporary, because water,
chemicals and fertilizers were used on a large scale to make this revolution
successful. People began using these fertilizers without taking into consideration
the texture of the soil, availability of water and environmental condition. This has
led to other problems of soil erosion, increased soil salinity, ground water pollution,
