Discussing the range of effects of pesticides on food and human safety, water quality,
wildlife, and pest management, this book explores the agricultural, economic, and regulatory
factors that affect pesticide use. It examines crop and pest ecology, integrated pest management principles, and
emerging analytical tools to improve the efficacy and cost-efficiency of pest control. Expert contributions describe
the current status of pesticides issues and those related to pest management. The book summarizes advances and
trends in the crop protection industry, such as integrated pest management, hybrid seed and generic
pesticide production, improved pesticide formulations, and plant biotechnology.
