Abstract:
      9 time series data indicators of agricultural non-point source pollution in Shaanxi Province were chosen, which included total input density of ferilizer , input density of N fertilizer, input density of P fertilizer, input density of K fertilizer, input density of compound fertilizer, input density of agricultural film, input density of pesticide, load of livestock and poultry's manure & urine, and load of crop residues. Meanwhile,Environmental Kuznets Curve model (EKC) was built to examine the relationship between the 9 indicators and the growth of economy in Shaanxi. The outputs of livestock and poultry's manure & urine were computed by the method of discharging coefficient, and the outputs of crop residues were computed by harvest cofficient. Results: The per hectare loads of total fertilizer, N fertilizer, P fer- tilizer, K fertilizer, compounded fertilizer and the manure & uine exhibited inverted-U relations with per capita GDP. While per hectare loads of agricultural film, pesticide and crop residues exhibited linear relations with per capita GDP. Conclusion:With the growth of economy, the input of fertilizer and output of manure & urine will reduce, but the con- sumption of agricultural flm and pesticide and the outputs of crop residues will increase . The govemment should take effective measures to prevent the occurrence of agricultural non-point source pollution ahead of time.
