Pesticide chemistry has seen many remarkable changesand advances in recent years. Further challenges must be faced to progressthe subject and this book, produced as a result of the 9thIUPAC Congress of Pesticide Chemistry and written by leading internationalexperts, reports on the need to produce high quality food whilst satisfyingenvironmental concerns. Including new material on Natural Products,Mode of Action and Metabolism, Pesticide Chemistry and Biosciences updatesall the key areas in pesticide chemistry and related activities. Together,the contents outline the revolution in the approaches to crop protectionand our abilities to develop complex, environmentally acceptable strategiesfor weed, pest and disease control.
This collection of current expert views and findings will be of immense interest to researchers and professionals working in the environment of pesticide chemistry.
