Modern Crop Protection Compounds, Second, Revised and Enlarged Edition, 3 Volume Set

This one-stop reference for everyone working in the agrochemical business is the leading reference in the field, with first-class authors from university and all major crop protection companies, research based in Europe, Japan, and USA. In three volumes, one each on herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, it provides up-to-date information on the chemical properties, mode of action, range of application, industrial-scale synthesis and commercial products. The new edition has been updated and expanded by more than 50 new compounds and their mechanisms, for a complete picture of agrochemicals introduced since 1990.
A truly comprehensive source of top quality information.

From a review of the previous edition:
"... It addresses the problems of the past; ... it talks of new, emerging technologies; ...it is packed in a reader-friendly fashion; and is full of good science, innovative discovery and remarkable breakthroughs. It is a book that should be compulsory reading for the doubters of the value of chemical crop protection... a book of which we should be proud."
