In today's world, food security is an important issue. Food shortages push prices up, impacting upon the health and well-being of hundreds of millions of rural poor across the globe. One way to increase food security is to decrease the amount of yield lost to pests. The Pesticide Encyclopedia provides a comprehensive overview of the fight against pests, covering chemical pesticides, biocontrol agents and biopesticides. It also covers interrelated topics such as pesticide toxicity, legislation and regulation, handling, storage and safety aspects, IPM techniques, resistance management, interaction of pesticides with soil and the environment. An important reference for policy makers, advisers and students and researchers of crop science, this book also includes useful notes on commonly known plant diseases and pests.

A descriptive account on pesticides has been presented in this book, including the elucidation of the current developments in chemical as well as botanical pesticides. Pesticides are regarded as potential molecules to fight against pests, weeds, diseases and insects in various systems like horticultural cropping system, agriculture as well as health management systems. Chemical pesticides are extremely efficient against the target organism. However, they also have toxic effects on numerous non-target species and rising environmental issues bring forth the topics of assessment of their toxicity and safety. The impacts of chemical pesticides on earthworms, fishes, advantageous microbes and natural enemies in agricultural ecosystems have been elucidated in this book. Moreover, the properties of pesticides to disturb the functioning of endocrine systems along with characteristics of non-conventional pesticide compounds have been descriptively discussed. The book also presents elaborative information regarding the current technology on use of biomarkers in pesticide analysis. Some of the plants having pesticidal dynamic compounds have also been covered. Interesting topics regarding the use of biotechnological strategies for insect pest management and a novel approach for recognition of larva in the field by LIRA classifier system have also been encompassed in this all-inclusive book.

Many of the pesticides applied to food crops in this country are present in foods and may pose risks to human health. Current regulations are intended to protect the health of the general population by controlling pesticide use. This book explores whether the present regulatory approaches adequately protect infants and children, who may differ from adults in susceptibility and in dietary exposures to pesticide residues. The committee focuses on four major areas: Susceptibility: Are children more susceptible or less susceptible than adults to the effects of dietary exposure to pesticides? Exposure: What foods do infants and children eat, and which pesticides and how much of them are present in those foods? Is the current information on consumption and residues adequate to estimate exposure? Toxicity: Are toxicity tests in laboratory animals adequate to predict toxicity in human infants and children? Do the extent and type of toxicity of some chemicals vary by species and by age? Assessing risk: How is dietary exposure to pesticide residues associated with response? How can laboratory data on lifetime exposures of animals be used to derive meaningful estimates of risk to children? Does risk accumulate more rapidly during the early years of life? This book will be of interest to policymakers, administrators of research in the public and private sectors, toxicologists, pediatricians and other health professionals, and the pesticide industry.
