Pesticides kill their target organisms whilst presenting little threat to human health and the environment. This book considers pesticide selectivity, by looking at the basis of selectivity of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and vertebrate control agents, and concludes with chapters on toxicology and the risks to public health and non-target organisms.
