"Pesticides" is a landmark, five-volume collection of research that covers the subject of pest management and eradication from a huge range of perspectives. This is the fifth volume in the collection. The growing human population and global development means that the production of safe and sustainable food is increasingly important, and the control of pests on crops is a crucial, but often controversial, subject. These volumes focus on new research into emerging approaches and responses to contemporary problems. The authors are experts in their fields from many countries and draw on experience in industrial and experimental environments. Some of main areas of focus include how to manage pesticide residue, the ecological implications of pesticide use, new greener types of pest control, new approaches to the analysis of pesticides, such as cloud point extraction, voltammetric and organophosphorus analysis, the risks and benefits of pesticides in the modern world and the management of those risks, the management of the long-term effects of pesticides on soil and water, and the risks associated with pesticide exposure. The volumes, therefore, give a complete picture of issues in pesticide use today: covering everything from the biochemistry of pesticide functions and new approaches to pesticide application to environmental implications and green solutions. There is a wealth of high-quality research for the benefit of students and researchers as well as for professionals in industrial and agricultural settings.
