"The book is devoted to solving the actual problems of production of ecologically safe products: potatoes, vegetables, berries, etc., which meets the relevant international requirements. The information contained in the book allows us to consider the problem of safe production of horticultural products as well as gardening and plant growing in a broad ecological aspect, which is of great importance for the moderate and sustainable use of biological resources. Of particular note is the great contribution made by the editors of the book: Larissa Weisfeld, Anatoly Opalko, Sarra Bekuzarova, as well as Gennady Zaikov and Alexander Goloshchapov, as they consider the actualization of this problem. With regard to direct agricultural production, the book indicates the directions on which agriculture can be oriented with the aim of providing the population with environmentally safe and biologically valuable products. . . . An interesting book useful for professionals and entrepreneurs interested in applying the latest scientific achievements."
