Pesticides - Advances in Chemical and Botanical Pesticides

InTech, 2012. - 392 p. ISBN: 9535106807In this book the effects of chemical pesticides on fishes, earthworms, beneficial microbes and natural enemies in agricultural ecosystems are discussed. The recent technology on use of biomarkers in pesticide assay is described in two chapters. Some of plants having pesticidally active compounds are described. Use of biotechnological approaches for insect pest management and a new approach to recognize larva in the field by LIRA classifier system are two more interesting chapters of the book. **Contents** Preface**Pesticide Toxicity** Toxicity on Biochemical and Hematological Parameters in Bufo melanostictus (Schneider) (Common Indian Toad) Exposed to Malathion Evaluation of Earthworms Present on Natural and Agricultural-Livestock Soils of the Center Northern Litoral Santafesino, Republica Argentina Pyrethroids and Their Effects on Ion Channels Non-Traditional Pesticidally Active Compounds Endocrine Disrupting Pesticides Indirect Effects of Pesticides on Natural EnemiesPhotosynthetic Response of Two Rice Field Cyanobacteria to Pesticides **Botanical Pesticides and Pest Management** Plant Based Pesticides: Green Environment with Special Reference to Silk Worms Plants as Potential Sources of Pesticidal Agents: A Review Neem Crude Extract as Potential Biopesticide for Controlling Golden Apple Snail, Pomacea canaliculate Evaluation of Combretum micranthum G.

Pesticides Of Chemical Origin Are Highly Effective Against The Target Organism. However, The Chemical Pesticides Have Toxic Effects On Several Non-target Species And The Growing Environmental Concerns Raises The Issues Of Safety And Evaluation Of Toxicity. In This Book The Effects Of Chemical Pesticides On Fishes, Earthworms, Beneficial Microbes And Natural Enemies In Agricultural Ecosystems Are Discussed. Furthermore, Pesticides Have The Properties To Disrupt Endocrine And Non-traditional Pesticide Compounds Have Been Elaborately Narrated. The Recent Technology On Use Of Biomarkers In Pesticide Assay Is Described In Two Chapters. Some Of Plants Having Pesticidally Active Compounds Are Described. Use Of Biotechnological Approaches For Insect Pest Management And A New Approach To Recognize Larva In The Field By Lira Classifier System Are Two More Interesting Chapters Of The Book.
