Metabolic Pathways Of Agrochemicals Insecticides And Fungicides

This important publication provides a comprehensive summary of data and information on the metabolism and chemical degradation of agrochemicals in soils, plants and animals. Part 1, Herbicides and Plant Growth Regulators, and Part 2, Insecticides and Fungicides, together provide a major bibliography, as each entry is fully referenced. Contents include metabolic products, pathways and mechanisms, together with useful details on physico-chemical properties and mode of action. Both parts are organised by class of chemical for easy reference. There are separate entries for each pesticide, covering most commercially available chemicals in use today. In addition, an overview of the metabolism of each major class provides the reader with an informed summary of key similarities and significant differences between individual chemicals. Information is based primarily on literature from the past 40 years of research, together with some important, previously unpublished work provided by the agrochemical companies. Presented in a systematic, easy-to-read style, with extensive indexing to facilitate the rapid location of required information and the comparison of related compounds, Metabolic Pathways of Agrochemicals is an invaluable reference for chemists, biochemists and biologists working in the discovery, development and registration of agrochemicals, as well as scientists in related areas such as design and mode of action of pharmaceuticals.

Annotation Based on literature (and some unpublished work provided by agrochemical companies), this sizable single volume provides a summary of data and information on the metabolism and chemical degradation of agrochemicals in soils, plants, and animals. Entries are organized by class of chemical and cover most commercially available chemicals in use today--including modulators of insect growth and behavior, rodenticides and nematicides. Introductions to each section provide an overview of the metabolism of each major class. The editors include independent consultants and researchers from JSC International Ltd., Shell Research Ltd., E.I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., and IACR- Rothamsted. Annotation c.

Kenneth A. Hassall The Biochemistry and Uses of Pesticides Structure, Metabolism, Mode of Action and Uses in Crop Protection Second Edition This second edition has been greatly expanded and updated to reflect recent developments in the understanding of how pesticides function, how metabolism contributes to selectivity and safety, and how the development of resistance is linked to biochemistry and molecular biology. From reviews of the first edition: "… can be recommended as one of the best accounts of pesticides that has appeared so far." Agro-Ecosystems "This book will be of value to all involved in pesticide research and crop protection." biologia plantarum "This book is to be highly recommended as textbook, handbook and reference work." Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde, Pflanzenschutz "The book fills a gap in the literature and can be recommended to colleagues interested in this field." Das Ärztliche Laboratorium
