Common Chemicals Used for Growing Rice:*

*1. Fertilizers:*

1. Urea (46-0-0) - nitrogen source

2. DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate) (18-46-0) - nitrogen & phosphorus

3. MOP (Muriate of Potash) (0-0-60) - potassium source

4. NPK (20-20-20) - balanced nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium

*2. Pesticides:*

1. *Herbicides:*

 - 2,4-D

 - Butachlor

 - Pretilachlor

2. *Insecticides:*

 - Carbofuran

 - Phorate

 - Triazophos

3. *Fungicides:*

 - Isoprothiolane

 - Ediphenphos

 - Carbendazim

*3. Other Chemicals:*

1. *Soil conditioners:* Gypsum, Lime

2. *Growth regulators:* Ethephon, 2-Chloroethylphosphonic acid

Shall I explain the dosage of these chemicals?

why are they harm

 *Harmful Effects of Rice Farming Chemicals:*

*To:* 

1. *Humans:*

 - *Cancer* risk from pesticides like 2,4-D, Carbofuran

 - *Neurological damage* from insecticides like Phorate

 - *Birth defects* from herbicides like Butachlor

 - *Respiratory issues* from dust inhalation of fertilizers like Urea

2. *Environment:*

 - *Water pollution* from fertilizers (eutrophication) and pesticides

 - *Soil degradation* from excessive fertilizer use (acidification)

 - *Air pollution* from ammonia release by Urea

 - *Loss of biodiversity* due to pesticide use

3. *Other:*

 - *Contaminate food chain*

 - *Affect nearby crops and livestock*
