Green revolution was highly successful as agricultural production and the verities of food. But there is not only positive impacts of Green revolution while some adverse impact on environment also Land degradation like loss of soil fertility, erosion of soil, soil toxicity; deforestation, diminishing water resources like pollution and salinity; loss of biodiversity, increase in greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, increased in sequence of human and livestock diseases are some of the negative impacts of over adoption of agricultural technologies by the farmers to make the Green Revolution successful. During the last 45 years various scientific studies and research are introduced the fertilizer and pesticide like nitrates, organochlorines, organophosphates, synthetic pyrethroids and carbamates at higher level. So we can say that while the Green Revolution has made a positive impact by increase the production food resources, on the other hand, it has also created a negative relationship between human beings and environment.
