Abstract
Improvement of Environmental Safety of Agricultural Systems As a Result of Encapsulated Mineral Fertilizers Implementation
Highlights
As a result of anthropogenic impact on the environmental ecosystems, Ukrainian environmental degradation leads to the environmental sustainability loss and makes sustainable development of the country impossible [1, 2]
The existing information from the researchers on the use of encapsulated fertilizers in agroecosystems does not give a definite answer as to the quantitative indicators of the reduction of environmental pollution resulting from the use of encapsulated mineral fertilizers
Pilot studies have shown that the performance of encapsulated fertilizers is 30–50 % higher compared to granulated ones with lower consumption of mineral fertilizers
Summary
As a result of anthropogenic impact on the environmental ecosystems, Ukrainian environmental degradation leads to the environmental sustainability loss and makes sustainable development of the country impossible [1, 2]. Global changes in the environment create a threat to the life and health of Ukrainian citizens. This is why, if we accept the health of the population as an integral indicator of the negative anthropogenic impact on the environment, objective statistical medical data indicate a growing influence of environmental factors on the physical potential of our society [3]. Environmental degradation is mainly caused by outdated production technologies, outdated and worn-out equipment, high energy and material consumption level that two or three times exceeds relevant indicators of the developed countries; high level of concentration of industrial objects; unfavourable structure of industrial production with high concentration of environmentally hazardous productions; absence of relevant nature protection systems (treatment plants, circulating water supply systems etc), low exploitation level of available nature protection objects; absence of proper legal and economic mechanisms that would stimulate development of environmentally safe technologies and nature protection systems; absence of proper environmental protection control [4, 5]. In environmental literature, main theoretic provisions are shaped on the environmental and economic efficiency of using mineral fertilizers and chemical agents for plant
