E-Books →Radioisotopes in Weed Research

Applying technological advances in radiation detection,Radioisotopes in Weed Researchexplains how isotopic techniques can be used to identify degradation products and trace the fate of herbicides applied to crop plants. This book provides essential information on the historical use and recent advances of radioisotopes in weed research. It demonstrates the potential these methods offer the field of weed science in gaining a better understanding of the behavior of herbicides in plants and soil and working to ensure the continuous, effective, and safe use of herbicides, minimizing harmful impacts on ecosystems.
Features
Explains the radiometric method with studies of radiolabelled herbicides and includes case studies as examplesDescribes radiometric methods to study the behavior of herbicides in soil from transport and transformation to retentionElucidates the absorption, translocation, and metabolism studies of herbicides in plants
Authored by a team of leading scientists, this book is written for professors, researchers, extensionists, graduate and undergraduate students, rural producers, and other professionals involved in weed science.
