Books in the Wiley Series in Agrochemicals & Plant Protection series

This book not only combines the elements of risk assessment (dietary exposure and toxicity, but also positions them within the broader picture, which includes environmental fate of pesticides, identification of the exact nature of the residues and the international standards for acceptable levels of food pesticide residues in food and water.

Focuses on the exposure to pesticides by agricultural workers and residential users of pesticides through inhalation and physical contact. This book discusses risks such as pesticides on indoor carpets and covers the trends in data interpretation.

Brings together the range of scientific disciplines necessary to ensure best practice through monitoring what is used and improving how it is formulated and applied. The book provides an exploration of pesticide optimisation from the view point of industry and research scientist. It also includes a discussion of complementary pest control methods.

The importance of understanding the metabolism of agrochemicals in plants has never been greater. In a world where food safety and environmental concerns are increasing, knowledge of the metabolic processes within plants and the terminal residues of agrochemicals in food crops is invaluable.

Written by international experts in the field, this book sets out the scientific arguments for and against the use of methyl bromide which is both naturally occurring and also a man-made product believed to have played a significant role in the depletion of the ozone layer.

This text aims to present a comprehensive assessment of all methods of pesticide remediation. By focusing on land and water contamination, the book voices increasing concerns about the fate of pesticides as environmental hazards.

This book covers the current status of fungicide research as well as giving a brief perspective of this field. Its main purpose is to consider the ongoing discovery of new modes of action and approaches for disease control. Problems posed by resistance and by the biological control of fungal diseases will be discussed.

This text focuses specifically on chirality in agrochemicals. Written to complement texts on the synthesis of chiral drugs, the editors provide readers with broad coverage of the issues surrounding chiral agrochemicals.
