Description
Rice is cultivated throughout the world under submerged conditions. The high water requirements and the heavy pesticide load used in rice
paddies worldwide have resulted in contamination of associated surface water, such as streams, ditches, rivers and lakes. The uniform
risk assessment approach which has been developed for other crops is not applicable to rice paddies, because of the specific conditions
applied to rice cultivation.
Pesticide Risk Assessment in Rice Paddies: Theory and Practice fills the gap in information
on this subject. Written by experts, this book summarizes the methods used for pesticide risk assessment in rice paddies, the limitations
and problems encountered and future developments. It also examines the various agronomic, pesticide application and risk assessment approaches
used in different rice cultivated zones in Asia, America and Europe and is an essential reference for those working in this area.
Audience
Scientists and researchers in environmental sciences, ecotoxicologists, people working in regulatory bodies, agronomists, stake-holders and workers in the agrochemical industry.
