Agricultural Applications in Green Chemistry

Agricultural Applications in Green Chemistry ebook

A dozen studies examine how less environmentally damaging techniques of chemical processing and agriculture do and might further contribute to each other. Among their topics are green chemistry and the path to sustainable agriculture, plant essential oils as green pesticides for pest and disease management, enhancing ethanol yield from the corn dry grind process by converting the kernel fiber fraction, studies with atrazine on the green remediation of herbicides, the in-process bioremediation of organic waste-containing aqueous solvents, managing the soybean cyst nematode by using a biorational strategy, the potential of entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents against the formosan subterranean termite. The symposium was held in Orlando, Florida in April 2002. Distributed by Oxford University Press. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR More Reviews and Recommendations
