Copper contamination in farmland soil was paid more attention accompanying with worldwide concern on copper health risk, especially incremental correlation between copper level in blood and incidence of cancer. Copper is necessary for plant physiological functions. However, plants are hypersensitive to small quantity of copper, which enough results in disturbance of growth and reduction in yield. Derivation of contamination in farmland soil, which resulted from different agro-technologies, including applications of livestock manure, fungicide, reclaimed water and chemical fertilizer were discussed. Swine manure enriched in copper, which was derived from copper-additive in forage, is main issue in heavy metal contamination of organic manure. Spray of Bordeaux mixture on fruit and vegetable to prevent fungi is another origin of copper contamination in farmland soil. Characteristics of the adsorption-desorption and mobility after copper input to soil was summarized with emphasis on soil physics-chemical property. Effect of crop and land utilization types on copper content in farm products and healthy risk triggered by ingestion of copper-containing foods were discussed. According to agricultural practice and principium of copper input to farmland soil, effective strategies to control copper contamination in farmland soil, for instance, biological medicine is instead of copper additive to swine forage, reduction in application amounts of Bordeaux mixture in orchard, and legumes and short-root crop are not encouraged to cultivate in copper enriched farmland soil and so on, were proposed.
