Environmental Effects of Fenitrothion Use in Forestry
Fenitrothion has been used in forest protection in the Atlantic Region since its first experimental application in 1965, and has been monitored for its effects from the beginning. This report presents the results of separate technical reviews undertaken on the effects of fenitrothion on pollinators and pollination, forest songbirds, and aquatic fauna. The reviews are essentially distillations of available literature, with the exception of the songbird review which also incorporated previously unpublished data and a re-analysis of earlier published information. Sources accessed include papers published in the primary literature as well as published and unpublished government reports. Recommendations are included.
Global Decline of Insects
Insects are a group of animals that contribute significantly to the proper functioning of different ecosystems on the planet. They provide services such as pollinating crops, recycling nutrients and controlling pests. Many scientific publications and reports have studied the current global decline of insects. This decline can severely affect other groups of animals including birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and small mammals that utilize insects as a source of food. This will have a great impact on the trophic cascade and an eventual adverse effect on the overall ecosystem. This book provides insights into the possible reasons behind the decline of insects as well as potential measures that might mitigate this decline. It contains eleven chapters written by different experts. The book is useful for a wide range of readers including entomologists, ecologists, botanists, environmentalists, and amateurs who love collecting and preserving insects.
Metabolic Pathways of Agrochemicals: Insecticides and fungicides
This important publication provides a comprehensive summary of data and information on the metabolism and chemical degradation of agrochemicals in soils, plants and animals. Part 1, Herbicides and Plant Growth Regulators, and Part 2, Insecticides and Fungicides, together provide a major bibliography, as each entry is fully referenced. Contents include metabolic products, pathways and mechanisms, together with useful details on physico-chemical properties and mode of action. Both parts are organised by class of chemical for easy reference. There are separate entries for each pesticide, covering most commercially available chemicals in use today. In addition, an overview of the metabolism of e...

Controlled-Release Delivery Systems for Pesticides
Highlighting means of reducing toxicity, increasing efficacy, lessening environmental impact, and facilitating product development, this work covers up-to-date advances in pesticide delivery technologies. It evaluates pesticide formulations and their use in mixtures that reduce physical incompatibilities in spray tanks and biological anatagonism in the field.
Insecticides
This book is compiled of 24 Chapters divided into 4 Sections. Section A focuses on toxicity of organic and inorganic insecticides, organophosphorus insecticides, toxicity of fenitrothion and permethrin, and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). Section B is dedicated to vector control using insecticides, biological control of mosquito larvae by Bacillus thuringiensis, metabolism of pyrethroids by mosquito cytochrome P40 susceptibility status of Aedes aegypti, etc. Section C describes bioactive natural products from sapindacea, management of potato pests, flower thrips, mango mealy bug, pear psylla, grapes pests, small fruit production, boll weevil and tsetse fly using insecticides. Section D provides information on insecticide resistance in natural population of malaria vector, role of Anopheles gambiae P450 cytochrome, genetic toxicological profile of carbofuran and pirimicarp carbamic insecticides, etc. The subject matter in this book should attract the reader's concern to support rational decisions regarding the use of pesticides.
Pesticide Residues in Food - 2003
The annual joint meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) was held in Geneva, Switzerland, in September 2004. These evaluations contain monographs on the pesticides and include comments on analytical methods. The report, published separately, contains information on ADIs, maximum residue levels and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides.
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography of Pesticides
Analytical Methods for Pesticides and Plant Growth Regulators, Volume XII: High-Performance Liquid Chromatography of Pesticides covers the important information on the analysis of pesticides by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The book discusses the gas chromatography of pesticides, organized according to patterns of pesticide use (procedures for insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and plant growth regulators, and rodenticides). Toxicologists and people involved in the analysis of pesticide formulations will find the text invaluable.
