The leading reference on this topic has just gotten better. Building on the success of the previous two editions, all the chapters have been updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, and new chapters have been added on picolinic acids, oxathiapiprolin, flupyradifurone, and other topics.This third edition presents the most important active ingredients of modern agrochemicals, with one volume each for herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. The international team of first-class authors from such renowned crop science companies as Bayer, Syngenta, Dow AgroSciences, DuPont (now Corteva Agriscience), and BASF, address all crucial aspects from the general chemistry and the mode of action to industrial-scale synthesis, as well as from the development of products and formulations to their application in the field. A comprehensive and invaluable source of timely information for all of those working in modern biology, including genetics, biochemistry and chemistry, and for those in modern crop protection science, whether governmental authorities, researchers in agrochemical companies, scientists at universities, conservationists, or managers in organizations and companies involved in improvements to agricultural production.

The gold-standard reference on the discovery, development, and use of crop protection compounds In the newly revised fourth edition of Modern Crop Protection Compounds, a team of distinguished researchers provides an exhaustive overview of today's most important crop protection compounds. Divided into four volumes, dedicated to herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, the authors explain the invention and development of agrochemicals, their chemistry, mode of action, physicochemical properties, structure-activity relationships, biological and safety profile, industrial synthesis, commercial use, and resistance management, bringing together the most important agrochemical information in a single, comprehensive source. Building on the success of the previous editions, the four volumes cover: A thorough introduction to the individual modes of action and resistance evolution of agrochemicals, classified by international committeesComprehensive discussions of the newest herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, up to those released in 2024Brand-new material, including entirely new chapters, with revised and updated content reflecting the latest research advancesContributions by some of the leading names in the international agrochemical industryPerfect for researchers in industry working in the area of agrochemical research and development, mainly in the plant protection industry, Modern Crop Protection Compounds will also benefit organic chemists at universities, as well as professionals on advisory boards, and with societies and governmental authorities.

Agricultural biocatalysis is of immense scientific interest nowadays owing to its increasing importance in the efforts for more sustainable agriculture while optimizing environmental impacts. Plant compatibility is essential for developing eco-friendly and sustainable microbial products. Therefore, our search for novel technologies ought to be in the foreground, for which a thorough understanding of biochemical processes, applications of agricultural enzymes, traits, and viruses should get the highest priority. Volumes 8 to 10 in this series compile the recent research on agricultural biocatalysis by interdisciplinary teams from international institutes for chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, and materials and chemical engineering, who have been investigating agricultural-biocatalytic topics related to biochemical conversions or bioremediation, and modern biological and chemical applications exemplified by the use of selected and highly innovative agricultural enzymes, traits, and viruses. The editors are prominent researchers in agrochemistry and theoretical biophysical chemistry, and these three volumes are useful references for the students and researchers in the fields of agrochemistry, biochemistry, biology, biophysical chemistry, natural product chemistry, materials, and drug design. Volume 8 covers the research on biosynthesis, biocatalysis, and photosynthesis aspects for use in agrochemistry, including nano-biocatalytic processing, atrazine toxicity, and theoretical studies in biocatalysis and biological processes.
