Sustainable Agrochemistry (eBook, PDF)

A Compendium of Technologies
Redaktion: Vaz Jr., Sílvio

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a broad range of technologies for sustainable agrochemistry, e.g. semiochemicals for pest management, nanotechnology for release of eco-friendly agrochemicals, and green chemistry principles for agriculture. It provides a concise introduction to sustainable agrochemistry for a professional audience, and highlights the main scientific and technological approaches that can be applied to modern agrochemistry. It also discusses various available technologies for reducing the negative impacts of agrochemicals on the environment and human health.
