"Schwedt hat sein Buch nicht als reines Experimentierbuch gestaltet; vielmehr findet sich zu jeder Pflanze eine Hand voll nützlicher Informationen zu Verbreitung, Nutzung und charakteristischen Eigenschaften... Auch der chemische Hintergrund kommt nicht zu kurz: Alle für Pflanzen relevanten Naturstoffklassen stellt Schwedt am Anfang des Buches kurz vor, was einer guten Auffrischung der Kenntnisse dient. Für den Biologie- oder Chemieunterricht ist das Buch wegen seiner Vielfalt an verwendetem Pflanzenmaterial und wegen der leicht durchzuführenden, für jede Jahrgangsstufe geeigneten Experimente hervorragend geeignet."<br> Spektrum der Wissenschaft (08/08)

Hideo Ohkawa holds the chair of Agrochemicals and Biotechnology at Kobe University, Japan. Prior to his academic appointment, he spent almost 20 years working in the agrochemical division of Sumitomo Chemical Corp.<br> Professor Ohkawa has edited several books on agrochemicals and is the chairman of the organizing committee of the 2006 IUPAC Congress on Pesticide Chemistry.<br> <br> Hisashi Miyagawa heads the laboratory of bioregulation chemistry at the Kyoto University Faculty of Agriculture (Kyoto, Japan). He is the chairman of the scientific committee of the 2006 IUPAC Congress on Pesticide Chemistry.<br> <br> Philip W. Lee is with the Crop Protection Division of DuPont at Newark, NJ (USA). He has edited the well-known Handbook of Residue Analytical Methods for Agrochemicals.

While intensive agriculture is critically dependent on pest control, the chemical agents used may be harmful to humans eating the crop, such that pest control must always be accompanied by measures to ensure environmental and health protection.<br> This integrated view on modern crop protection -- covering science, technology, regulation and economical issues -- contains the proceedings of the 11th IUPAC International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry held in Kobe, in 2006. 50 contributions selected from this premier forum for pesticide development and use cover key aspects in modern pesticide chemistry and technology, including agriculture, agrochemicals, and environmental health aspects, as well as global issues, such as food quality and safety. This comprehensive volume even captures such emerging technologies as crop protection and production, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.<br> Invaluable reading for organic, environmental and food chemists, as well as chemists in industry, agricultural scientists, and those working in the chemical industry.
