These microorganisms are responsible for all activities that increase the quality and finesse of the soil. This ranges from air circulation in the soil to soil texture thus their death results in poor air circulation and texture. The resulting effect is that the soil does not have the capacity to retain water and carbon dioxide needed for healthy plant growth.

At times these nutrients are replaced by fertilizers but the regular use of these cannot be successful and is not recommended over a long period of time. At times the plants come to maturity and are harvested but they often lack taste and nutrients and are harmful for consumption due to the fact that they might contain traces of pesticides.

This interference causes the death of many plants and animals. Some pesticides such as Atrazine have been known to interfere with the fertility of male humans as well as frogs.
