This book provides a unique and current look at the process of discovery in the field of crop protection. As many plants are able to resist various control agents, it is necessary to look for entirely new active types of compounds. The book examines combinatorial chemistry approaches, long used in medicinal discovery, to find new agrochemical types. Applications in modifying plants to provide their own crop protection or enhanced yield and quality are discussed. There is also a review of natural products, which are finding increased use in the development of new means and types of crop control agents.

About the Author:
"Agrochemical identification of novel biodefenders use a range of molecular techniques. . .This book exhibits a great width of reportage in presenting 24 short chapters, constrained into five generalised sections to attempt an academic structure. . .This book is highly recommended for academic and industrial specialists in agrochemical xenobiotics, molecular modeling, biochemistry, biosynthetic chemistry, ecotoxicology, pest control, green chemistry, mycology, phytochemistry, molecular nutrition, food science and technology, and biotechnology."--Chemistry and Industry
"Based on an October 1999 conference held on Honolulu, this volume looks at the process of discovery in the field of crop protection. The 24 papers explore natural products, agricultural biotechnology, the combinatorial chemistry approach for synthesizing large numbers of compounds, and mode of action studies for the development of new insect control agents. Topics include fungicidal properties of cyclopropanecarboxamides, bioactive substances from medicinal plants, an integrated management program for clubfoot of cruciferous plants, and a specific inhibitor of brassinosteroid biosynthesis."--SciTech Book News
