Metabolism of Agrochemicals in Plants

edited by Terry Roberts

Metabolism of Agrochemicals in Plants is the first book to give systematic coverage of this important topic.

Metabolism of Agrochemicals in Plants brings together the current status of the subject with chapters on regulatory considerations, comparative metabolism of plants and animals, and the different phases of metabolism. Including new and novel research in primary metabolism, herbicide metabolism and bound residues, this work is unique and thoroughly up to date.

This is an essential text for chemists and biochemists working in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries and academia as well as analytical chemists, regulatory chemists and environmental scientists.
