Abstract  

Eutrophication of water body is a problem of global concern. The potential for nutrient loss in runoff has been increased by the continued application of fertilizer and the excrement from livestock and poultry culturing industry. That has created a nitrogen and phosphorus imbalance. So the agricultural non-point source pollution has been considered as the main pollution source of eutrophication. This paper provides a brief overview of the management of agricultural non-point source pollution including source control strategies and transport control strategies. The conclusion is that the key strategy is to set up stable, harmonious and benefic cycling ecosystems.

Key wordsEutrophication      Non-point source pollution      Agriculture      Control measures
