Pesticides increase crop yields by reducing the amount of a crop that is lost to pests and control diseases transmitted by insects. However, the majorities of such pesticides released into the environment. Since less than 0.1% of applied pesticides actually reach the target pests, the rest (99.9%) has the potential to move into other environmental compartments and induce potential hazards. This book focuses on the rapid detection of pesticide residues in water with respect to nanotechnology. Furthermore, this book focuses on the basis, mechanism, efficacy, limitation and future of different...

Pests which include insects, mites, phytopathogens, nematodes, weeds, and vertebrates are major constraints to crop productivity by directly damaging the crop and by causing plant stresses that decrease yields. Worldwide, pre-harvest and post-harvest losses to insects, weeds, and plant pathogens are estimated to be 45 % of agriculture production. Neither planting more productive varieties nor putting an increased land area under production can meet the need for food if yield and post-harvest losses due to pests remain at current levels. Therefore, this book review and discuss about the...
