Description
This is the first book to provide a global portrait of crop protection against diseases, weeds and insects in conventional agriculture. In the current state of knowledge on the harmful effects of synthetic pesticides on the environment and health, the authors have brought together basic theoretical and practical information on all the preventive and corrective means available to the agricultural community, in a manner to equip and encourage the reduction of impacts on human and environmental health without compromising the optimization of yields. They propose integrating phytoprotection into production, from planning to harvest storage, and favoring lower risk interventions all the way to the plate. This is how the agricultural community will develop the reflex of embracing all possibilities, of making the safest choices among physical, biological, chemical and biotechnological means for the environment and human and animal health, finally , to document and evaluate its practices in a perspective of constant evolution towards increasingly sustainable agriculture.
