| Summary: |
"Many scientists assert that use of chemical pesticides is unavoidable due to the need to feed a growing global population and diminishing agricultural land because of their usage in non-agrarian tasks. Others are against the use of chemical pesticides on environmental, and a third group advocates a balanced use of pesticides and advocate for integrated pest management. This book will extensively cover the diversity of pesticides used in modern agricultural practices, and the social and environmental issues pertaining to them. The impact of pesticides in plants, pesticide metabolism in soil microbes, plants and animals, bioaccumulation of pesticides, sensitiveness of microbiome towards pesticides and consequent risk assessment, development of pesticide resistance in pests, microbial remediation of pesticide intoxicated legumes, and pesticide toxicity amelioration in plants by plant hormones shall be dealt with. The impacts will be assessed from the morphological, anatomical, physiological and biochemical perspectives. This book also encompasses eco-friendly pest management, transgenic strategies to develop resistant plant against the pathogen and pest and impact of pesticide on food stuffs and human health. Analysis of pesticide by GC-MS/MS (Gas Chromatography tandem Mass Spectrometry) is a reliable method for the quantification and confirmation of multiclass pesticide residues in cabbage and cauliflower as case studies have been included"-- |
