Biorational Pest Control Agents: Formulation and Delivery

About this book

This work is Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Agrochemicals at the 207th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society held in San Diego, California, March 13-17, 1994. It has a multi-discipline focus on new and emerging pest control technology. It also identifies critical needs of formulation and novel delivery systems for the baculoviruses, bacteria, fungi, pheromones, hormones and nematodes being advocated for agricultural and forest pest management strategies for the 1990s. The book provides a reference for biorational agents currently used to control agricultural and forestry pests. It addresses the registration/data requirements and basic information necessary for registering environmental pest control agents.
