Applications of Biotechnology Are Included As Are Discussions of Natural Products and Growth Regulators inside the Encyclopedia of Agrochemicals, 3 Volume Set.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c43449) has announced the addition of Encyclopedia of Agrochemicals, 3 Volume Set to their offering. There are many compilations of agrochemicals, but none of the breadth and depth of this work. This Encyclopedia provides coverage of a wide range of topics contributed by experts world wide. The work emphasizes the chemicals used in agriculture for management of pests, their development, use, metabolism, toxicology and mode of action. These chemicals include pesticides, such as the herbicides (weed killers), insecticides and fungicides. Applications of biotechnology are included as are discussions of natural products and growth regulators. Fertilizers and soil fertility are covered at length as well as the persistence of pesticide residues, their degradation, environmental transport and implications of their residues in the environmental. Toxicological and regulatory implications are included throughout. * Comprehensive range of topics included emphasizing chemicals used in pest management and soil fertility. * Cover the chemistry, properties, toxicology, biotechnology, regulatory and environmental aspects of agrochemicals. * Expert contributors from around the world. * Provides an introduction to the field of agrochemicals. * Environmental and toxicological aspects are included.

"The scope of this work extends well beyond a pesticide handbook; however, which should broaden its appealC*recommended for academic and research libraries and for larger public librariesC*" (Library Journal, May 1, 2003) "...the editors are to be congratulated for collecting and structuring a genuinely valuable compendium of knowledge." (Pesticide Outlook, April 2003) "...truly does provide whatever you want to know about agricultural chemicals and chemical technology..."
