This book, a revision of The New Pesticide User's Guide (first published in 1981 and again in 1983), intended both for those who apply pesticides and for those wanting to understand the importance and implications of pesticide use to society, contains 15 chapters covering the following aspects of pesticides: the history, terminology and public perception of their usage; characteristics, identification and control measures of insect, disease, vertebrate and weed pests of crops; relevant laws and regulations; labelling of containers; safety, health, and environmental considerations of their application; formulations and adjuvants; application equipment and its calibration; useful formulae and calculations; their transportation, storage, decontamination and disposal; and the concept and implementation of integrated pest management. A glossary, 9 appendices for quick reference and indexes (both on subject and pesticide names) are also provided.
