Modern state of agricultural chemistry in Russia and over the world are discussed. At present time there are no the other ways to provide the provision security and independence of country than using of fertilizers and other agricultural chemicals. It is underlined that using agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators and others on basis of scientific regulations and ensuring of absolute control of their application does not make worse the quality and biological value of food. Prohibition or abrupt reduction of application of agrochemicals will come undoubtedly to definitive destruction of self food provision in country.
