Abstract
Based on the analysis of sources of scientific, regulatory and reference literature, the main principles, possibilities and limitations of using bioassay methods for monitoring the content of ecotoxicants in natural and artificial environments are considered. Arguments are given in favor of expanding the scope of application of these methods in agriculture – both in the environmental and veterinary-sanitary aspects. The advantages and disadvantages of using various living objects as biotests for assessing the ecotoxicological hazard of components of the agro-industrial environment are discussed. Some promising directions for the development of bioassay methods are indicated, suggesting the active involvement of modern cellular technologies and molecular biomarking in the practice of environmental control in the agro-industrial complex.
