This volume, with contributions from leading international experts, reports on the need to produce high quality food whilst satisfying environmental concerns. Including material on natural products, modes of action and metabolism, it covers all the key areas in pesticide chemistry and related activities. The contents outline the developments that have taken place in approaches to crop protection and our ability to develop complex, environmentally acceptable strategies for weed, pest and disease control.
Pesticide Chemistry: Human Welfare and the Environment, Volume 3: Mode of Action, Metabolism and Toxicology covers the proceeding of the Fifth International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry. This book is organized into three parts that tackle relevant issues regarding the use of pesticide. The opening part tackles topics relevant to the biochemistry of pests and mode of action of pesticides, such as influence of chlorinated and parathyroid insecticide on cellular calcium regulatory mechanisms; behavioral and lethal actions of amidines on invertebrates; and insect chitin synthetase as biochemical probe for insecticidal compounds. The second part encompasses metabolism and degradation of pestic...
Discusses the applications of classical QSAR and molecular modeling analysis to the discovery of new agrochemicals. Examines hydrophobicity parameters derived from various partitioning systems. Includes chapters focusing on the use of three-dimensional QSAR analyses such as CoMFA and DISCO. Presents information on the use of QSAR to study transport and toxicology of agrochemicals.
