- Descripción:
- In this fascinating book, Graham Matthews takes the reader through the history of the development and use of chemicals for control of pests, weeds, and vectors of disease from the earliest use until the present day. The book also examines the development of legislation designed to control and restrict the use of pesticides, and the emergence of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and the use of biological control agents as part of policy to protect the environment and encourage the sustainable use of pesticides. Finally, the use of new technologies in pest control are discussed including the use of genetic modification, automated systems, and drones.
