The overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has been seriously effecting the environment and human health. However, with  recent technological developments, they have been emerged several types of fertilizers and pesticides which are environmental friendly and very much in line with the trend of sustainable agriculture.

According to Dr. Nguyen Dang Nghia, new generation fertilizers is a new trend of applying technology in agriculture. These types of fertilizers can help boost crop yields, improve soil health and have very less impact on the environment. Recent agricultural researches and production focus on organic fertilizers from biochar (biochar), specialized fertilizers, functional fertilizers and nano-tech fertilizers…
