Description
This volume is developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Agrochemicals, at the 209th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Anaheim, California, April 2-7, 1995. The book provides an up-to-date historical perspective on light-activated pest control. It also: presents an overview of the basic science; addresses safety concerns in the use of light-activated dyes; documents the application of dye impregnated baits against several species of fruit flies; discusses applications of allelochemicals in light-catalyzed toxic reactions; and compares haemoglobin and chlorophyll pathways, and the effects their intermediates illicit from toxic reactions in plants and animals.
