Research in pesticides is a very varied field that is continually developing. In this new work, the authors offer current perspectives on pesticides, focusing on issues of analysis, evaluation, and emerging approaches and trends. In part one, contemporary strategies for pesticide analysis are examined. Topics examined include pesticide immunoassay, multidimensional and liquid chromatography, and quantification of pesticide residue in non-fatty matrices. In part two, the risks and benefits of pesticides in the modern world are considered. Contributors present their findings on issues including ecological impacts of pesticides in the agricultural ecosystem, immunotoxicological effects of environmental contaminants in fish reared for aquaculture, and pesticides movement in surface and ground water. Finally, part three considers integrated pest management and pest control issues, focusing on current and future tactics. New insights are offered on agroecological crop protection, and novel pest control strategies based on insect ecological and evolutionary dynamics. This varied, future-oriented book is idea for all readers wishing to be informed about new developments and innovations in the field.
