Regulation of environmental protection in agricultural production is very important at the present time due to the growing trend of deterioration of the environment and public health worldwide. A severe negative impact on the environment is due to productive human activities in agriculture, one of which is soil pollution due to excessive use of pesticides. The implementation of organic methods of cultivation of agricultural crops is one of the ways of improving soil fertility. This trend was established in the EU and the US.
