Problemas del suelo por el uso excesivo de productos químicos en la agricultura del Ecuador

Soil is the basis of agriculture, a natural resource that provides optimal conditions for the growth of crops, but it is affected by the increase in agricultural products that are used to control pests, diseases, and weeds, without taking into account It takes into account the effect that this produces in many aspects and among them the biology of the soil and the structure of the soil. The indiscriminate uses of agrochemicals decrease the biomass of the soil and this is because the soil receives everything that the producer applies to it, becoming a sponge that absorbs and stores, contaminating due to the high toxicity that is usually concentrated. It must be taken into account that the chemical products used in agriculture contain toxic and harmful substances for human beings when consumed in the products we harvest from the field that has been contaminated, since in the soil these elements are transformed and are present and available. to be absorbed by the roots. The deterioration of soil has many factors, but the excessive use of chemical products has a great precedent since these elements mineralize sometime after being applied, others nitrify, becoming a greenhouse effect pollutant, being volatile they reach the atmosphere and cause impact to the environment. The presence of heavy metals in the soil and water is also due to poor agricultural practices and excessive control of pests, diseases, and weeds. But it is necessary to know that agrochemicals play an important role, if used precisely, respecting the correct dosages in order to achieve good control without damaging the soil structure.
