Highlights

  • The use of chemical substances especially chemical pesticides to enrich the soil for growing plants like vegetables and fruits has greatly affected the farmland ecosystem, degraded the quality of farmland and decreased the production

  • High efficiency chemicals free agriculture may offer enough foods production and reduce environmental pollutions caused by the use of chemical fertilizers

  • Jiang Gaoming [1] suggested that this can be done by feeding cattle with bio-processed corn straw, restoring the soil fertility by manure treatment and using physical and biological methods for pest control to put an end to pesticides, chemical fertilizers and herbicides pollution
