Pesticides: Human Health, Environmental Impacts and Management considers microbial degradation and environmental management of pesticides, covers microbial options as an alternative to chemical pesticides, explores plant-microbe interactions for reduced applications of pesticides in the agricultural fields, discusses the enhancement of microbial pesticides degradation, explains function of engineered microorganisms for effective pesticide degradation, describes potential indigenous/effective microbes for effective pesticide degradation processes and presents research on microbes for sustainable agricultural and environmental practices.
- Provides the latest developments and progress on pesticide management through sustainable practices
- Describes the adverse effects of pesticides on human health and its precautionary control measures through biological agents
- Introduces the aspects and advances of biological technologies in the environment for sustainable management of pesticides
- Elaborates the advanced prospective, vide application, modern practices of harnessing the potential of microbial resources in environment
