Pesticide selectivity, health, and the environment
2006
Carlile, W. R.
"This book considers the fundamental properties of pesticides as selective control agents. In the first part of this book, the mechanisms of action and basis of selectivity are considered for herbicides, plant growth regulators, fungicides, insecticides and vertebrate control agents, including the dose rates required to achieve the desired effects. Dose rates, modes of action and mechanisms of selectivity are all used to address environmental and health concerns about pesticides in the second part of this book. Key features include considerations of modern pesticides, modern risk assessments for both environment and public health, and a final comparative chapter on relative risk analysis of pesticides."--Jacket.
