The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Ecological impacts of early 21st century agricultural change in Europe--a review. (2009, background): “combat nutrient runoff from fields (Dorioz et al., 2006; Reichenberger et al., 2007).”
Organic chemicals jeopardize the health of freshwater ecosystems on the continental scale (2014, background): “Control of diffuse sources of pollution from agriculture remains a challenging task but can, for example, be achieved by implementing riparian buffer strips (especially edge of field), grassed paths, or vegetated treatment systems (23, 24).”
Global Water Pollution and Human Health (2010, background): “Instead, diffuse losses, including field runoff, drainage/leaching into the subsurface, or spray drift, are of much greater concern, and a broad variety of mitigation measures have been evaluated to minimize their impact on water resources (67).”
Agricultural insecticides threaten surface waters at the global scale (2015, background): “In addition to application patterns and geographical and meteorological conditions, the physicochemical properties of an insecticide (such as its hydrophobicity) are crucial components of its potential to enter a surface water via runoff (36, 37).”
Targeted Delivery of Pesticides Using Biodegradable Polymeric Nanoparticles (2013, background): “Finally, from the amount of pesticide applied, only less than 0.1% is estimated to reach the target sites (Hunsche et al. 2007; Wang and Liu 2007; Reichenberger et al. 2007).”
