Synopsis The present book on Principles of Pesticides Chemistry is the outcome of difficulties encountered by the author and his colleagues while imparting knowledge of agricultural chemicals to their students. Several excellent books of pesticides have been published in the last decade but none of them could be recommended as a text to our students for the simple reason they fail to cover all aspects of prescribed syllabus of agricultural universities of our country. An attempt has been made to give an over view of all chemicals aspects of plant protection. The book on Principles of Pesticide Chemistry presents a detailed characteristic of insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, fumigants, acaricides, herbicides, attractants, repellents and pheromones. Information is also given on insecticides act, biological control of pesticides, toxicology, formulation and residues aspect of pesticides.
