Non-specificity, pollution and residue describe why fertilizers and insecticides are harmful to ecosystems. Fertilizers and, unless they are target-specific, insecticides can impact any environment, plant, soil, soil and water food web and water in the immediate area. They remain in the soil and on the surface briefly or lengthily, during either of which their impact spreads with human, pet, water, weather or wind dispersals.
