Description and Table of Contents
Description
Pesticides consist of a large group of chemicals designed specifically to control pest organisms and to be deliberately released in the environment. This book addresses the problems which pesticides may pose to non-target organisms, humans, animals, plants, micro-organisms and to ecosystems. Recommendations are made not only on research needs, but also on ways and means of mitigating the problems due to chemical control of pests, in particular through the development of integrated pest management, applications of biotechnology, and improved communication and training of users. The application of these recommendations to developing countries is emphasized.
