Front Cover
Prentice Hall, 2003 - Technology & Engineering - 557 pages

For courses in Environmental Science or Agriculture including Plant and Soil Science, Weed Science, Entomology, Turfgrass Science, Horticulture, Botany, Plant Pathology, Agricultural Systems Management, Plant Protection, and Fundamentals of Pesticides.

Written in clear, non-technical language, this text is designed as an introduction for those who will be directly responsible for the application of pesticides. It develops an understanding of the importance of pesticides as highly-regulated chemicals that deserve respect in their use in food and fiber production. Comprehensive in approach, it covers all aspects of pesticide principles and use: animal and plant pests; laws; liability and recordkeeping; labels; safety; environmental considerations; formulations; application equipment; transportation; storage; decontamination; disposal; and integrated pest management. This wide range of information also makes this text useful as a desk reference.
