This book presents the new families of insecticides developed in the last few years as a "green" alternative to classical and more toxic agrochemicals - from advanced technology for insecticides design to mode of action and toxicological aspects. It highlights the negative environmental effects that organochlorine and organophosphorous insecticides have caused in nature: accumulation in water streams, poisoning of non-targeted species and beneficial insects, and toxic effects on people. This overview of insecticide chemistry is of interest to a vast group of researchers - agro chemists, biochemists, chemists, toxicologists, etc. The combination of both, chemical and toxicological aspects of insecticides is unique and the different approaches that involve "greener chemicals" are emphasized throughout.
Green Trends in Insect Control presents the current approaches for insect pest control as a "green" alternative to classical and more toxic agrochemicals. An overview of the recent advances in insecticide chemistry is also included, which will be of interest to a vast group of researchers - agrochemists, biochemists, chemists and toxicologists. The combination of both chemical and toxicological aspects of insecticides is unique and the book includes contributions from synthetic chemists, entomologists, environmentalists and toxicologists giving it wide appeal. Throughout the book, the different approaches that involve "greener chemicals" are emphasized. The book is divided into nine chapters, each considering the state-of-the-art of each family of insecticides, together with future expectations. Each chapter gives a description of useful biorational insecticides, highlighting environmentally-friendly processes and then the mode of action is fully-described, emphasizing selectivity towards targeted species. Finally, for every family of compounds, their environmental effects (toxicity, bioaccumulation and metabolism) is considered, comparing them to classical insecticides, including human and environmental risk assessments. The book also includes a general introduction to entomology, with special emphasis on those insects which act as vectors in the spread of diseases. Insects that may be potential pests against humans and livestock are included, focusing on their life cycles, and physiology. In addition there is a chapter on classical insecticides for comparison with current trends in pest control.
