This book covers issues around international product quality and safety standards and describes the current and likely future trends which will carry the industry forward into the next millennium.
It brings together well known international experts with many years of practical experience from agrochemical companies, consultancies, academic institutions and regulatory bodies. Chemists and technologists involved in developing new or improved agrochemical formulations will find this book an essential reference in the course of their work.
The book will also be of interest to those working in research and development departments of raw material suppliers, as a concise review of this important field. These applications are discussed with respect to the scope of their domestic, institutional, or industrial usages. Special focus is given to technological advancement, health and environmental concerns, and the rapid changes occurring in the field within the past several years.
With contributions from experts and pioneers, this set provides readers with the tools they need to answer the need for sustainable development faced by the industry.
The six volumes constitute a shift from the traditional, mostly theoretical focus of most resources to the practical application of advances in research and development.
With con. Author : Dhawan, A. The dominance of insects in the world fauna has made them the humanity's greatest rival for the world's food resources, both directly by eating the plants cultivated for food and indirectly as vectors of pathogens attacking these plants.
Agricultural scientists and especially entomologists have strived hard to develop a diversity of cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical weapons during the last more than two centuries to gain dominance over insects. However, there is evidence that insect pest problems have escalated with an increasing cropping intensity and with the use of agrochemicals inherent in modern agriculture.
Consequently, Indian plant protection scientists have intensified research on the development of pest management tactics and effective pest management systems have been designed for all the important crops in the country. This book, consisting of 29 chapters, draws together the diverse literature on the subject of insect pest management in agriculture and contains contributions written by scientists having extensive experience with insect pest problems in Indian agriculture.
The first half of the book is devoted to the principles and components of pest management including factors affecting pest populations, construction of life tables, coevolution of insects and plants, pest forecasting, pesticides, IGRs, botanicals, entomopathogenic nematodes and molecular approaches, etc.
The different tactics for the management of major insect pests of principal agricultural crops of India, viz. The book contains a wealth of information on all aspects of insect pest management in agriculture under Indian conditions and would prove indispensable for students, teachers and researchers in agricultural entomology in India and other Asian countries. Author : G. The work of several authors from private industry, government and academia is well represented here in an overview of recent pesticide technology.
Based on a conference, this book is intended to promote a better understanding of the effects of adjuvants on pesticide penetration, translocation, photodegradation and stability, spray deposition and dissipation, and the fate of herbicides in the environment.
Sugavanam, After Finishing His Ph. And University Of Leeds, U. Sushil K. Khetan Obtained His Ph. Author : N. This book was originally published as a Russian edition in mid It represented the first single-volume discussion of chemical pest control and of the detailed chemistry.
Frear's classical book on this same subject, first published in van No strand with the latest third edition in Since many new pesti cide chemicals have achieved commercial status, and many of the older ones have been supplanted. There is no up-to-date equivalent of this present volume in the world literature, with the exception of the encyclopedic and largely biologically oriented two-volume work "Chemie der Pflanzenschutz und Schadlingsbekampfungsmittel" R.
Wegler, ed. Professor Melnikov has updated the Russian edition, with emphasis on the primary Russian sources yet with excellent world wide coverage of the latest chemicals to approach field stature in modern chemical pest control, for the present translation.
Pages Review of major agrochemical classes and uses. Formulation of agrochemicals. Water-dispersible granules. Recent developments on safer formulations of agrochemicals. Agrochemical formulations using natural lignin products. Novel surfactants and adjuvants for agrochemicals. Improving agrochemical performance: possible mechanisms for adjuvancy. Packaging of agrochemicals. In recent years there have been increasing pressures to produce agrochemical formulations which have a lower environmental impact and are safer in use.
Enormous changes have taken place in the chemistry and technology of agrochemicals over the last twenty years or so and this book provides a timely review of the most important area of technology in the development of new products.
This book covers issues around international product quality and safety standards and describes the current and likely future trends which will carry the industry forward into the next millennium.
