Modern Crop Protection Compounds, Volume 3: Insecticides, 2 Volume Set

by Peter Jeschke (Editor), Clemens Lamberth (Editor), Beth Lorsbach (Editor)

Overview

The gold-standard reference on the discovery, development, and use of crop protection compounds

In the newly revised fourth edition of Modern Crop Protection Compounds, a team of distinguished researchers provides an exhaustive overview of today's most important crop protection compounds. Divided into four volumes, dedicated to herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, the authors explain the invention and development of agrochemicals, their chemistry, mode of action, physicochemical properties, structure-activity relationships, biological and safety profile, industrial synthesis, commercial use, and resistance management, bringing together the most important agrochemical information in a single, comprehensive source.

Building on the success of the previous editions, Volume 3 on insecticides covers:

• A thorough introduction to the individual modes of action and resistance evolution of insecticides, classified by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC)
• Comprehensive discussions of the newest insecticides, up to those released in 2024
• Brand-new material, including entirely new chapters, with revised and updated content reflecting the latest research advances
• Contributions by some of the leading names in the international agrochemical industry

Perfect for researchers in industry working in the area of agrochemical research and development, mainly in the plant protection industry, Modern Crop Protection Compounds will also benefit organic chemists at universities, as well as professionals on advisory boards, and with societies and governmental authorities.
