1987 pesticide use increased by 325%‚ while rice yield increased by only 30%. Pesticide imports have continued to increase‚ while rice and corn yields have increased at a much smaller rate. In general‚ the excessive and inappropriate use of chemical fertilizers in crop soils cause land degradation and losses in soil fertility worldwide. Moreover‚ agrochemicals cause water pollution that directly and indirectly affects human health. According to the National Economic and
