Environmental-biological assessment of chemicals application on various soil types

Agrochemical and microbiological long- and short-term experiments on a number of soil types have revealed adverse effects of high doses of mineral fertilizers on microbial communities and ecology of soils. The complex application of recommended amounts of fertilizers and pesticides results in high residual concentrations of pesticides in soils, as well as in accumulation of toxicants in crops, hence, in producing ecologically dangerous food.
