Abstract

The objective of this paper is to investigate the opportunities, perspectives, and risks of employing biocides in Saudi Arabia using qualitative and quantitative parameters of the market. In solving the problem of the impact of biocides on health and environment, prior consideration must be given to the safety of agricultural products, as in excess of 90% of the total amount of biocides that enter the human body from the environment originate from food. The ecological safety of agricultural products can be achieved by compliance with the principles of “greening” of agriculture, developing hydroponic cultivation of crop products, and cleansing the soil of biocides.
