About this product
Product Information
In this fascinating book, Graham Matthews takes the reader through the history of the development and use of chemicals for control of pests, weeds, and vectors of disease. Prior to 1900 only a few chemicals had been employed as pesticides but in the early 1940s, as the Second World War raged, the insecticide DDT and the herbicide 2-4-D were developed and they changed everything. Since then farmers have been using a growing list of insecticides, herbicides and fungicides to protect their crops. Their use has undoubtedly lead to significant gains in agricultural production and reduction in disease transmission, but also to major problems; health concerns for both users of pesticides and the general public, the emergence of resistance in pest populations, and environmental problems. The book examines the development of legislation designed to control and restrict the use of pesticides, and the emergence of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and the use of biological control agents as part of policy to protect the environment and encourage the sustainable use of pesticides. Finally, the use of new technologies in pest control are discussed including the use of genetic modification, targeted pesticide application, and the use of drones, alongside basic requirements for IPM, including crop rotations, closed seasons and adoption of plant varieties with resistance to pests and diseases.

Reviews
The book provides a sound grounding on pesticides and their use and how understanding of them, their advantages and risks, and alternatives have developed. I would recommend to all who wish to understand how pesticides have developed, the forces driving that development and to assist in future debate. Keith Jones, December 2018

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
