Introduction
a manufactured product containing one or more essential plant nutrients
in amounts without carrying any harmful substance above permissible limits.
Many prefixes such as synthetic, mineral, inorganic, artificial or chemical are often used to describe fertilizers and these are used interchangeably.
![Page 14: Grade 10 - Modern Technology in Increased Food Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55665dbbd8b42aa21e8b49ec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fertilizers have classified into following two group, depending on the number of nutrients available in them.
Complex/ compound fertilizers
Straight fertilizers
Introduction

Straight fertilizers
• Straight fertilizers contain one of the three major nutrients N, P or K.
• that contain and are used for one major nutrient as opposed to multinutrient fertilizers.
• For secondary nutrients, these include products containing elemental S, magnesium sulphate, calcium oxide, etc.
• In the case of micronutrients, borax, Zn and Fe and sulphate salts of micronutrients are straight fertilizers.

Complex/compound fertilizers
• Complex or compound fertilizers contain at least two out of the three major nutrients.
• These include both two-nutrient (NP) and three nutrient (NPK) fertilizers.
• These are also referred to as maltinutrient fertilizers, but do not include fertilizer mixture or bulk blends as no chemical reaction is involved.

PEST = any organism that interferes in some way with human welfare or activities.
![Page 19: Grade 10 - Modern Technology in Increased Food Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55665dbbd8b42aa21e8b49ec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PESTICIDE = toxic chemicals used to reduce the size of and control the pest population. Grouped by their target organism
Insecticide, Herbicide, Fungicide, Rodenticide
85% of pesticides worldwide used for Agriculture.
![Page 20: Grade 10 - Modern Technology in Increased Food Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55665dbbd8b42aa21e8b49ec/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
“Ideal Pesticides” Narrow-Spectrum = kill only target
organism. Breaks down easily into safe materials Does not move around in the environment.
“Non-Ideal Pesticides” Broad-Spectrum = kill more than just the
target. Persistent or Can degrade into other
CMPDs (Chronic Myeloproliferative Diseases) that can be more dangerous
Move around in the environment.

Pre-1940s (First-generation pesticides) Inorganics (Minerals)
Contain lead, mercury, and arsenic Very persistent & bioaccumulate
Organics (Botanicals) Plant-derived Break down readily
Post-1940s (Second-generation pesticides) Synthetic Botanicals
Made by altering natural botanicals Ex: dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)
![Page 22: Grade 10 - Modern Technology in Increased Food Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55665dbbd8b42aa21e8b49ec/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
INSECTICIDES : Classified by chemical structure
Chlorinated Hydrocarbons = organic CMPDs + Cl Broad-spectrum, persistent Most are banned (DDT, endosulfan, etc) Rachel Carson: Silent Spring
Organophosphates = organic CMPDs + P more poisonous than most others not persistent, so they’ve replaced most
chlorinated hydrocarbons
Carbamates = broad-spectrum, derived from carbamic acid Less toxic to mammals (Carbaryl, Aldicarb)

HERBICIDES Are pesticides used to kill unwanted plants Classified by how they act & what they kill Selective Herbicides = kill only certain
types of plants Broad-leaf Herbicides
2,4-D & 2,4,5-T common in 1940s 2,4,5-T banned by EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency) in 1979 due to possible harmful side effects realized after its use in the Vietnam War
Grass Herbicides Nonselective Herbicides = kill all
vegetation
![Page 24: Grade 10 - Modern Technology in Increased Food Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55665dbbd8b42aa21e8b49ec/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
VIETNAM WAR & HERBICIDES US used mixtures of herbicides to kill
vegetation in S.Vietnam to expose hiding places & destroy crops planted by Vietcong: Agent White, Agent Blue, & Agent Orange
Negative environmental impacts: Mangrove forests & hardwood forests destroyed Harmed ecology & economy of S.Vietnam
Negative health impacts: Agent Orange = 2,4-D & 2,4,5-T combined. Created highly toxic Dioxins during creation Birth defects, stillbirths, female reproductive
disorders, soft-tissue cancers Bioaccumulated in fish = very high levels in
Vietnamese people

Artificial selection is the process by which heritable traits favored by human actions become more common in successive generations.
Also called “selective breeding.” Very well known to farmers and breeders, artificial selection is how they harness evolution to produce the varieties of plants and animals that they want.
Artificial selection can be intentional, or unintentional on our parts.

![Page 29: Grade 10 - Modern Technology in Increased Food Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55665dbbd8b42aa21e8b49ec/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
All of our domesticated species - pets, crops, farm animals - evolved through artificial selection. In many cases, it was intentional.
Corn, or maize, is the result of domestic breeding of teosinte by Mesoamerican famers ~9,000 years ago.
Artificial selection applied to the wild mustard, Brassica oleracea
![Page 30: Grade 10 - Modern Technology in Increased Food Production](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062513/55665dbbd8b42aa21e8b49ec/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
There have also been many cases where we’ve imposed a selective pressure on a population without even knowing it. These cases can also be called artificial selection. Most cereal crops were unintentionally
developed 12,000 years ago. There’s no evidence that the first farmers premeditated and decided to breed certain plants in order to keep and enhance their desired traits, they just kept plants because they liked them.
