Modern Crop Protection Compounds: 3 Volume Set

This one–stop reference for everyone working in the agrochemical business is the leading reference in the field, with first–class authors from all major crop protection companies, including Bayer, Dow, Syngenta and BASF.
In three volumes, one each on herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, it provides up–to–date information on the chemical properties, mode of action, range of application, industrial–scale synthesis and commercial products. The new edition has been updated and expanded by more than 50 new compounds and their mechanisms.
A truly comprehensive source of top quality information.

Praise for the previous edition:
"Compulsory reading for the doubters of the value of chemical crop protection... a book of which we should be proud." –Chemistry and Industry

Nota biograficzna:
Wolfgang Krämer gained his PhD in organic chemistry from the TU Stuttgart (Germany) in 1968, before moving to Bayer Plant Protection as lab leader in plant protection research in 1970. Between 1984 and 1990 he was Head of Global Chemistry Fungicides, and Head of Insecticides thereafter. Dr. Krämer has over 250 patent applications and publications to his name.
Ulrich Schirmer gained his PhD in organic chemistry from Stuttgart University (Germany) in 1973, and subsequently carried out his postdoc at Paris–Orsay (France). He joined BASF in 1974, eventually becoming Senior Vice President responsible for plant protection research for chemical synthesis, process development and biological R&D. Dr. Schirmer has over 100 patent applications and publications to his name.
Peter Jeschke leads the global research group on insecticide chemistry at Bayer CropScience, based in Monheim (Germany).
Matthias Witschel gained his PhD in 1994 at the University of Erlangen–Nürnberg (Germany). After his post–doctoral stay as a Feodor–Lynen–Fellow in the group of Prof. B. M. Trost, Stanford (USA), he started in 1996 at BASF in herbicide research, where he is now the global head of herbicide crop protection research, based in Ludwigshafen. Dr. Witschel is the author and co–author of over 100 patents and scientific publicatio ns.
