Book synopsis

A pesticide is a compound which is utilized to repel, kill or to prevent any pest. On the basis of the target killed, pesticides are mainly classified as herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. The increased demand of food on account of population explosion has compelled man to use pesticides for better crop production. Pesticides are used protect crops in the field as well as during post-harvest storage to minimize crop damage. However, there are many negative impacts of these chemical agrochemicals like toxicity to non-target organisms, retention in bio-systems in the form of their residues, leading to harmful effects on food chain and food web. So, keeping in mind the all above mentioned facts, there is strong need to assess the pesticide usage, its movement in the ecosystems, its harmful effects and finding eco-friendly techniques for their bioremediation. So, our purpose is to compile all the recent developments reported in the field of pesticide biology. This book will be an important source of information for researchers and academicians working in the field of pesticide pollution, its physiology and biochemistry, and development of pesticide remediation technologies. Assists readers in developing new strategies to address the issues related to sensing and remediation activities Includes low cost materials for sensor and adsorbent development allowing professionals to make decisions based on economic considerations Provides alternatives for the development of socioeconomically sustainable products for sensing and remediation application
