Detailed Solution

Loss of soil fertility, reduce water table and Pollute the groundwater and other water bodies are the negative effects of the green revolution.
The followings are the adverse effects of the green revolution:

Loss of soil fertility- Excessive use of chemical fertilisers led to the loss of soil fertility. The continuous use of chemical fertilisers degrades the quantity of soil to a large extent, resulting in the loss of soil fertility.

Reduce water table- HYV seeds need plenty of water. The continuous use of groundwater for the irrigation system minimises the water table at a deeper level.

Chemical fertiliser dissolves in the water but is not retained in the soil for an extended period.

Chemical fertiliser remains in the groundwater and pollutes it and the water bodies such as rivers, lakes etc.
