The publication presents problem of chemicals application in agriculture in the context of sustainable development conception.

Proper agricultural exploitation of soil should not degrade it and should not influence negatively the environment. Sensible fertilization should deliver enough nutrients to the plants and excess should not cumulate in the soil. Both fertilization and pesticides and veterinary drugs usage should be applied only when necessary because of economic and social purposes.
