Description
Published in association with SCI This book is a complete critical review of natural crop protection. It examines the complete range of potential crop protection agents from nature, and identifies those areas that show potential within the crop protection industry. Crop Protection Agents From Nature: Natural Products and Analogues examines the secondary metabolites that occur in nature including bacteria, fungi, algae, higher plants and animals. It evaluates their biological effects, and, wherever possible, identifies their mode of action. In addition, the book discusses opportunities for commercial exploitation and lists the regulatory requirements. Overall, this book is an excellent examination of all aspects of the natural world as a source of crop protection agents. It will be of great interest to researchers in bio-organic and agrochemistry, as well as professionals in the pesticides industry.
