Agricultural Chemistry


Book Description

The present book is a collection of ten original research articles and reports, associated with selected topics in agricultural chemistry. The discussed issues are organized in four sections: Classification and labeling of active substances in plant protection products, Environmental and stress plant physiology and behavior, Antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of plant extracts, and Pollutants analysis and effects. The information provided in this book should be of interest for academic researchers and for agriculturalists.







Principles Of Pesticide Chemistry


Book Description

The present book on principles of pesticides chemistry is the outcome of difficulties encountered by the author while imparting knowledge of agricultural chemicals to their students. An attempt has been made to give an over view of all chemicals aspects of plant protection. The book presents a detailed characteristic of insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, fumigants, acaricides, herbicides, attractants, repellents and pheromones. Information is also given on insecticides act, biological control of pesticides, toxicology, formulation and residues aspect of pesticides.




Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry


Book Description

In Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry, leading soil and water authority V. P. Evangelou presents a complete overview of the principles and applications of soil science, addressing the subject by viewing the interactions between soil and water as a basis for understanding the nature, extent, and treatment of polluted soil and water. The text opens with a discussion of principles - the fundamental tenets of chemistry needed to understand soil and water quality and treatment of polluted resources - and continues with a look at applications for the control and treatment of soil and water. This text is suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students.
