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."

The FAO/WHO Manual on development and use of FAO and WHO specifications for pesticides contains general principles and methodologies of the work undertaken by JMPS, is the continuous evaluation of new scientific developments and guidance documents. The Manual gives the historical background of the operation of the JMPS and describes the purpose of the work. The Manual is also used by countries as a guidance document in setting pesticide specifications. This 3rd revision of the Manual contains n ew methodologies/principles developed in recent 5 years and incorporates the current working principles applied by the JMPS.

This report presents the conclusions of a WHO Expert Committee commissioned to make recommendations on specifications for pesticides used in public health. The aim is to promote the manufacture and use of high quality products that are both acceptable in terms of public health and effective against susceptible vectors of disease. The text includes an outline of the WHO Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES) and an overview of recent trends in the various WHO regions.

This volume records the recommendations of an expert committee commissioned to evaluate trends in the use of pesticides for public health purposes, to identify issues of safety or quality requiring international attention, and to propose appropriate actions. The committee also recommends specifications for individual pesticides for use in quality control by purchasing and regulatory authorities. Information in the report responds to striking changes in the use of pesticides, including further integration of vector control into basic health services, greater individual responsibility for personal protection, and greater community responsibility for vector control.; The report has two parts. The first discusses several activities aimed at improving the safety and quality of pesticides used in vector and public health pest control. The second part issues recommended changes to existing specifications for 20 pesticides, recommended specifications for two new pesticides and formulations, and procedures for performing four new WHO test methods.

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.
