NOTION AGROCHEMICALS, MODERN TRENDS OF ITS APPLICATION IN AGRICULTURAL SECTOR OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION
The article gives a brief history of the formation range of mineral fertilizers at the turn of XX-XXI centuries. It was noted that in the beginning XXI. There was a significant expansion of the production of complex mineral macro- and micronutrients, as well as microbiological preparations. In the agrochemical market there was a group of special complex fertilizers to include in their composition of amino acids, growth regulators, humic substances, etc., which greatly expanded the concept of «fertilizer» to the concept of «agrochemicals». A review was presented to the regulatory documentation and publications of individual authors, containing the interpretation of these concepts, and noted their inconsistencies. Attention is drawn to the weak ability to control the validity of the application of fertilizer funds based on the use of existing standards for maximum allowable concentrations of chemicals in the soil. Presented by the judgment that in the area of interest agronomic chemistry evidence-based should be included not only the fertilizer and chemical meliorants, but also chemical substances of natural or synthetic origin having an indirect fertilizing effect and/or influencing the soil and the process of plant nutrition.
