* Provides commercially important information for the agro-chemical industry * Addresses all aspects of public concern relating to human health and the environment including spray drift, bystander, resident and worker exposure * Looks at the future of pesticides in light of the increasing prevalence of genetically modified crops.
Over the last five decades pesticides have undoubtedly helped to increase agricultural production and control vectors of disease, however the environmental impact of long term agro-chemical use has been cause for concern along with the effects on human health. In Pesticides, Graham Matthews begins by looking at the developmental history of pesticides, and how crop protection was achieved before they were in use, how pesticides are registered for use and what happens to pesticides in food and the environment. Pesticide application and operator safety is investigated and the future of pesticides in light of the development of genetically modified crops is explored.
* Provides commercially important information for the agro-chemical industry * Addresses all aspects of public concern relating to human health and the environment, including spray drift, bystander, resident and worker exposure * Looks at the future of pesticides in light of the increasing prevalence of genetically modified crops Collecting together the most recent research in the area in a single volume, this book is a vital resource for agricultural scientists, agronomists, plant scientists, plant pathologists, entomologists, environmental scientists, public health personnel, toxicologists, crop protection personnel and all those involved in the agrochemical industry and government pesticide registration and legislation.
