Jalal M.A.F., Bondarenko S. Radiochemical Analysis of Agrochemicals: Environmental Fate and Metabolism

Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2025. — 609 p. — ISBN: 978-3-031-80079-5This book provides an in-depth overview of agrochemicals, their development, regulation, and environmental impact. It also offers detailed insights into the latest research methodologies and regulatory standards. Through this comprehensive guide, readers will gain a thorough understanding of the complexities surrounding agrochemical use and its implications for modern agriculture.
The chapters cover a wide range of topics including the history and evolution of crop protection methods, the regulatory framework governing agrochemicals, and the intricate processes of degradation and metabolism in various environments. Expert contributors discuss the nuances of radioactivity in agrochemical studies, quantitative and spectroscopic analysis techniques, and the behaviour of these chemicals in soil, water, plants, and livestock.Agrochemicals: Definition and Regulation
