This book is a complete critical review
of natural crop protection, each chapter covering the full extent of its
subject and identifying those areas that show potential within the crop
protection industry. It examines the complete range of potential crop protection
agents from nature, and will give every reader new ideas about pesticides.
Crop Protection Agents from Nature: Natural Products and Analogues
examines the secondary metabolites that occur in nature to include bacteria,
fungi, algae, higher plants and animals. It evaluates their biological
effects, and, wherever possible, identifies their mode of action. In addition,
the book is an excellent examination of all aspects of the natural world
as a source of crop protection agents, be they chemical, biochemical or
biological, and will be of great interest to researchers and professionals
in bio-organic and agrochemistry, particularly in the pesticides industry.
