The Pesticide Manual, edited by Colin MacBean, “is an authoritative source of accurate and reliable reference information on specific pesticides,” advises Professor John Pickett, Michael Elliott Distinguished Research Fellow, Rothamsted Research. “It is invaluable for consulting when assessing potential interventions for new pest problems with the latter coming thick and fast as climate change effects bite deeper.”

Extensively revised and updated with information provided by manufacturing companies worldwide, this edition now contains full details of 45 additional synthetic molecules including some still under development. It also features 920 main entries and 710 supplementary short entries. EU registration status under the new EU Pesticides legislation (EU1107/2009) is also included.
