Abstract(s)

Intensive agriculture is highly dependent on agrochemicals and in order to increase crop production, environment integrity is disturbed with biodiversity loss, emergence of pathogens, and soil and water resources negatively affected. The abuse of agrochemicals in agriculture constitutes a major worldwide problem as it does compromise environment and public health. Reducing the use of chemical fertilisers with increased application of organic onesis considered a required and natural route to ease the pressure on the environment derived from agricultural practices (Malusá et al., 2012).
