Residue Reviews

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 76))

Abstract

The application of technology to agriculture during the twentieth century has undoubtedly contributed to a vast increase in agricultural productivity and as a consequence an increase in the world’s population. This, in turn, places even greater demand on improved scientific agricultural practice. One of the factors of that technology is the introduction of chemotherapeutic agents: chemicals for the control of insects, plant disease, weed management, plant growth regulation, rodent control, etc., and as well for soil improvement (fertilizers, amendments, etc.).1

Presented in part at the April 1979 US-ROC Cooperative Science Program seminar on “Environmental Problems Associated with Pesticide Usage in the Intensive Agricultural System,” Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China, as sponsored by the National Science Foundation (U.S.A.) and the National Science Council (R.O.C.).
