Chirality in Agrochemicals

This text focuses specifically on chirality in agrochemicals. Written to complement texts on the synthesis of chiral drugs, the editors provide readers with broad coverage of the issues surrounding chiral agrochemicals - a subject which is increasingly being considered in the synthesis and development of new compounds. The book not only discusses all the major classes of agrochemicals such as insecticides, fungicides and herbicides, but also encompasses the synthesis, analysis, biological activity, mode of action, toxicology, metabolism and environmental fate of chiral agrochemicals.
