Resource-based agricultural non-point source pollution control using biological agents
Non-point source (NPS) pollution is a major cause of the deterioration of surface water quality.Effectively controlling NPS pollution, especially that from rural areas, is critical in improving the quality and safety of water resources.However, most of the approaches employed for NPS control are low-efficiency or impractical owing to ignorance ENZY
