Chemistry
of Crop Protection: Progress and Prospects in Science and
Regulation

The
ever-increasing demands for environmental and consumer protection
are a continuous challenge for research, development, and
regulation of crop protection chemicals. This book contains
30 invited lectures presented at the 10th IUPAC International
Congress on the Chemistry of Crop Protection, held 49
August 2002 in Basel, Switzerland. These edited contributions
take the form of reviews and presentations of original research
results. They cover fundamental aspects of biology, chemistry,
biochemistry and molecular biology of disease, weed and insect
control agents, economic issues, aspects in production, formulation
and application, and recent regulatory developments in environmental
and consumer protection. This book should prove invaluable
for industrial and academic research libraries in support
of their R&D departments. The congress, held every four
years, attracted the participation of approximately 1300 scientists
from more than 50 countries. It was locally organized by the
Swiss Society of Chemical Industries and Syngenta under IUPAC
auspices.
The
technical program was focused on the chemistry, biochemistry,
and molecular biology of insect, weed, and disease control,
and also included strong emphases on crop protection product
environmental fate, residue chemistry, consumer safety, and
regulation. The latest advances in research and regulation
of crop protection chemistry were highlighted via more than
600 posters and also through a series of plenary lectures
and interactive workshops.
