The discovery that opposite enantiomers can have similarly diverse effects on plants and insects has had no less a revolutionary impact on the agrochemical industry. Chirality in Agrochemicals, the first book dedicated to the topic, is written by experts from the agrochemical industry and academia, and discusses the synthesis, activity and toxicology of chiral agrochemicals, both those already on the market and those being researched. Chirality in Agrochemicals is a volume in the Wiley Series in Agrochemicals and Plant Protection. This series brings together current scientific and regulatory knowledge and perspectives on all aspects of the use of chemicals and biotechnology in agriculture. |

| Publisher Description: Bisher gab es kein Buch, das sich speziell mit der Chiralität von Agrochemikalien beschäftigte, obwohl dieses Gebiet zunehmende Beachtung in der Industrie findet. Diese Darstellung der Chiralität bei Insektiziden, Fungiziden, Herbiziden und anderen Klassen von Agrochemikalien schlie t diese Lücke. Synthese, Analytik, biologische Aktivität, Wirkprinzip, Toxikologie, Metabolismus und Umweltschicksal jeder besprochenen Verbindung werden diskutiert. (8/98) |
