Answer 1

The agricultural practice that leads to the breakdown of chemicals and nitrous oxide production is the use of synthetic fertilizers. When synthetic fertilizers are applied to soils, they can lead to increased nitrous oxide emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, through processes such as nitrification and denitrification in the soil. This practice can also result in the leaching of chemicals into the environment.
