Produktbeschreibung

Coastal plains and river valleys, some of the most sensitive but understudied ecosystems in the world, are home to agriculture on a vast scale. Streams and rivers receive the majority of agricultural runoff, carrying insecticides, fungicides and other pesticides into estuaries and coastal zones. Strategies must be developed to help economically viable agriculture coexist with natural resources. This volume brings together toxicology experts to assess pesticide burdens in the major food-producing tropical countries. A practical guide to recent research and applications, it is essential reading for environmental professionals, ecotoxicologists, marine chemists and agrochemists.
