The generic name of poisonous chemicals, very often used in commercial agriculture that are used to kill organisms that either reduce the yield of crops or are harmful to animals are pesticides.

Pesticides are the chemicals used to kill the pests affecting the growth and yield of the crops. Pesticide is a broad term covering various small terms according to the pest being killed. For example insecticide, nematicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, etc. Some chemicals used as pesticides are boric acid, Acephate, Deet, Propoxur, glyphosate, etc.

Commercial agriculture means growing of crops so as to sell them in the market to be utilized by the wide population of any area. Any crop can be grown at the commercial level. These crops do not reach the customers directly by the farmers, instead they are sold to whole-sellers first.

How do nitrates get into the surface water
loris [4]
Natural levels of nitrate in Minnesota groundwater are usually quite low (less than 1 milligram per liter [mg/L] of nitrate-nitrogen). However, where sources of nitrate such as fertilizers, animal wastes, or human sewage are concentrated near the ground surface, nitrate may seep down and contaminate the groundwater. Elevated nitrate levels in groundwater are often caused by run-off from barnyards or feedlots, excessive use of fertilizers, or septic systems.

Wells most vulnerable to nitrate contamination include shallow wells, dug wells with casing which is not watertight, and wells with damaged, leaking casing or fittings.

Nitrate contamination of a well is often regarded as a first sign of deteriorating groundwater quality.
