With the increased use of agro-chemicals in the last two decades it has become crucial to find alternative chemicals that are less harmful to the environment and humankind. One such alternative is lignin which is abundant both in agricultural waste and black liquor from the pulp and paper industry. In recent years, research and development of lignin-based agro-chemicals has gained traction and demand, as well as its use popularized. Lignin can be transformed into agrochemicals such as fertilizers, pesticide, soil improver and plant growth regulator. This paper presents the various potential ways in which recovered lignin may be reused in agriculture. There exists a continued need for research, development, improvement and innovation in the ways in which it is used, so that along with reducing the dependence on conventionally available, harmful and potentially toxic agro-chemicals, a valuable resource will not be lost. Continued research in to mapping lignin structure, development of bioengineering techniques for unifying various lignin structures and cooperation between relevant sectors to promote and incentivize the recovery and reuse of lignin for lignocellulosic waste are key to this issue. By doing so, a major element of air, land and water pollution can be eliminated and an important resource recovered.

随着过去二十年来农用化学品使用的增加，寻找对环境和人类危害较小的替代化学品变得至关重要。一种这样的替代品是木质素，它在农业废物和纸浆和造纸工业的黑液中含量丰富。近年来，木质素基农用化学品的研究和开发获得了关注和需求，其用途也得到了普及。木质素可转化为农用化学品，如肥料、农药、土壤改良剂和植物生长调节剂。本文介绍了回收的木质素可在农业中再利用的各种潜在方式。持续需要以其使用方式进行研究，开发，改进和创新，以便在减少对传统可用技术的依赖的同时，有害和潜在有毒的农业化学品，宝贵的资源不会丢失。继续研究木质素结构图、开发生物工程技术以统一各种木质素结构以及相关部门之间的合作以促进和激励木质素废物的回收和再利用是解决这一问题的关键。通过这样做，可以消除空气、土地和水污染的主要因素，并回收重要的资源。
