Research on Methods to Reduce Water Pollution Due to Phytosanitary Treatments
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the methods of reducing water pollution due to phytosanitary treatments. Thus, the sources of surface water pollution with plant protection products are divided into point sources, which mainly refer to the handling of these products within the agricultural farm, as well as diffuse sources, which mainly refer to the processes related to rainwater runoff from the land surface and soil erosion and due to drift at the time of application of the plant protection products. Methods of reducing surface water pollution are also analyzed, addressing both technological and legislative aspects.
