Updated General Techniques and Additional Pesticides

Analytical Methods for Pesticides and Plant Growth Regulators, Volume XI: Updated General Techniques and Additional Pesticides covers the techniques in the automated pesticide analytical laboratory. The book discusses the application of quantitative thin layer chromatography to pesticide analysis; as well as analytical methods for formulations and residues of developed pesticides following the order of insecticides and acaricides, fungicides, and herbicides and plant growth regulators. The text also describes the analysis of N-nitroso compounds; the analysis of ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicides and degradation products; and the analytical methods for the toxicologically important degradation product ethylene thiourea. Toxicologists and people involved in the study of pesticides will find the book invaluable.
