The Standard Pesticide User*s Guide - A New Framework That Brings Together Five Decades Of Thought - From Maslow To Senge

From "Acc-Bin" to "Zolone", Bohmont (emeritus, pesticide programs, Colorado State U.) updates the 1997 edition with the latest in pesticide products; laws and labeling requirements; pesticide application equipment and techniques; and transportation, storage, decontamination, and disposal of pesticides. With a healthy respect for these chemicals so central to food and fiber production, the author addresses environmental and safety concerns as well as different types of pests and pesticide options. Includes a 47-page glossary for pesticide users and illustrations, plus appended information on resources, restricted use pesticides, pesticide control offices by US state and Canadian province, pesticide trade name cross- referenced with common name, toxicity classification and signal words for all types of pesticides, stability of agri-chemicals, and cold weather handling of liquid chemical products.
