B. They turn the fields barren after sometime 

C. They adversally affect the useful component from the soil 

D. They destroy the soil fertility

Answer 1

Fertilizers are basically chemical compounds. Because of their addition, soil fertility may get increased for a short time period, but in a long run, they make the land barren. Due to their addiction, the pH of soil becomes unfavorable for the Microorganisms and they die. No Microorganisms mean no nitrogen fixation and we will need to add more fertilizers and successive use makes the soil infertile and barren.
