This book was originally published as a Russian edition in mid-1968. It represented the first single-volume discussion of chemical pest control and of the detailed chemistry.of all modern pesticide chemicals since D. E. H. Frear's classical book on this same subject, first published in 1942 (van No­ strand) with the latest (third) edition in 1955. Since 1955 many new pesti­ cide chemicals have achieved commercial status, and many of the older ones have been supplanted. There is no up-to-date equivalent of this present volume in the world literature, with the exception of the encyclopedic and largely biologically oriented two-volume work "Chemie der Pflanzenschutz­ und Schadlingsbekampfungsmittel" (R. Wegler, ed.) published by Springer­ Verlag in 1970. Professor Melnikov has updated the 1968 Russian edition, with emphasis on the primary Russian sources yet with excellent world­ wide coverage of the latest chemicals to approach field stature in modern chemical pest control, for the present translation.

This publication is the first based on a joint FAO/WHO programme to establish international standards for pesticide quality, and it supersedes all previous FAO or WHO manuals and guidance documents published previously. It provides the standard process, unified requirements and procedures, harmonised definitions and nomenclature, technical guidelines and standards applicable to pesticides for use in agriculture and public health. These specifications apply only to the products of manufacturers whose technical materials have been evaluated.

Use this database to instantly locate the compound you need! This electronic database covers 564 of the most common solvents used in industry, academic research, and general commerce. These organic solvents find applications as carriers for paints, medications, cleaning agents, and a host of other active ingredients. Health hazards and safety guidelines are covered, including the limiting values for airborne exposure, carcinogenicity status, flammability, and various official hazard ratings. With this flexible and powerful electronic reference, the user can easily and quickly select a solvent that meets his or her criteria for a particular application. For example, the user can specify desired physical properties and required safety levels and get back a list of solvents that conform to all the requirements. Searches ranging from the very simple (one or two specifications) to the very complex (a large combination of requirements that must be met) are easily performed with this database. System requirements: IBM 486 or higher compatible computer with 40MB hard disk (12MB free capacity), 4MB RAM, VGA Monitor (color), MS DOS 3.3 or higher, WindowsTM 3.1 or higher or Windows 95, external or internal CD-ROM drive. (Will normally run to a lower performance standard on IBM 386 and/or less hard disk and RAM capacity than those stated above)

This book provides an overview of the major chemical aspects of pesticides giving detailed descriptions of the various groups of pesticides in current use - insecticides, acaricides, nematocides, rodenticides, fungicides and herbicides. The organic syntheses are discussed in detail, as are the biochemical aspects of the effectiveness and mechanisms of action of these chemical agents. The ecological aspects of the use of pesticides - nowadays an important consideration - are also discussed.The main trends of development in the field are also dealt with, e.g. the development of insecticides which present less of a threat to human beings and animals than the ones presently used, whose point of attack is the nervous system. Research is now concentrated on developing chemical compounds which affect the biochemistry or the special behavioural features of insects, instead of acting upon their nervous system. Newly discovered chemicals with selective action which are still in the developmental and experimentational stages are also described.Because of its comprehensive character, the book will be a useful source of information to those engaged in practical work in this field, as well as to researchers in the agricultural sciences.
