The agrochemical industry is searching continuously for new pesticides to develop products
that have optimal efficacy, lower application rates in the field, increased selectivity …

Written by leading experts from industry and academia, this is the first book devoted to the
topic of chirality in agrochemicals, discussing the synthesis, activity and toxicology of chiral …

Chiral compounds account for 25% of all agrochemical compounds used commercially and
for 26% of the total value of the world agrochemical market. However, those sold in single …

The enantiomers of chiral pesticides are often metabolized at different rates. In agriculture,
the preferred chiral form of a pesticide is more effective at lower application rates or more …

Unreasonable application of pesticides may result in residues in the environment and foods.
Chiral pesticides consist of two or more enantiomers, which may exhibit different behaviors …

The modern agrochemical industry is searching, more intensively than ever, for new
substances to combat pests (weeds, deleterious insects, plant pathogens, etc.). In the …

Chirality exists extensively in nature. Synthetic chiral plant growth regulators and other
pesticides usually behave enantioselectively in phyto-biochemical processes. Chiral plant …

Synthetic pyrethroids are chiral compounds consisting of multiple stereoisomers. Evaluation
of enantioselectivity in environmental fate and ecotoxicity requires analytical methods that …

Over the past few decades, pesticides have been used in large quantities, and they pose
potential risks to organisms across various environments. Reducing the use of pesticides …

The production and use of chiral pesticides are triggered by the need for more complex
molecules capable of effectively combating a greater spectrum of pests and crop diseases …
