Request a sales quoteDevelopment and Commercialization of Biopesticides: Costs and Benefits provides a uniquely comprehensive view of the commercial production of biopesticides, from research to application, featuring case studies in various developed and developing countries of the world. The book offers guidance for future strategies to researchers, along with considerations for the industry’s economic concerns, i.e., costs and benefits compared to conventional pesticides, future perspectives for application strategies, bioavailability and environmental safety, and impacts on intellectual property issues during commercialization. Finally, the book covers why the development of this industry must be strategic, comprehensive and forward-looking in order to be an accepted, safe and sustainable.
There is no doubt that biopesticides are now in large-scale use, and a variety of novel techniques have been used to improve or modify existing biopesticides, which will further accelerate their development.
- Presents case-studies of commercial biopesticide programs in developed and developing countries
- Provides insights into the risks and rewards of biopesticide production
- Enables realistic assessments and guides readers through steps from research to regulation
Commercial audiences dealing in biopesticides as a whole as well as graduate, postgraduate students and academic researchers seeking a complete overview of the pesticide industry
