Agrochemicals, such as pesticides, animal food additives, veterinary drugs, and
related compounds, have become absolutely integral to the production of largescale agriculture. As the prevalence of agrochemicals has steadily increased during
the past 50 years, so have their complexity and sophistication. The Encyclopedia of
Agrochemicals is the first major reference work exclusively devoted to the cataloging, analysis,
regulation, utility, and environmental impact of agrochemicals. This multidisciplinary resource proves
an invaluable guide to government policy makers and environmental analysts as well as scientists in
the agricultural, veterinary, chemical, and biotechnology industries.
The Encyclopedia of Agrochemicals 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, and covers their development, use, metabolism, toxicology, and mode of action. The chemicals
covered 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 the implications of their residues in the
environmental. Toxicological and regulatory implications are included throughout.
 Provides an introduction to the field of agrochemicals
 Includes a comprehensive range of topics, emphasizing chemicals used in pest management
and soil fertility.
 Contains contributions from experts around the world.
 Focuses on the chemistry, properties, toxicology, biotechnology, regulatory, and
environmental aspects of agrochemicals.
