Behavior of Pesticides in Rice-Based Agroecosystems: A Review

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Natural Resource Management and Policy ((NRMP,volume 7))

Abstract

Emphasis on agricultural production using modern techniques has focused attention on the problem of yield losses due to pests and the need for adequate protection of the crop. Pesticide application is currently the most widely practiced method of pest control in rice and rice-based cropping systems. Because of their toxic nature there is a general concern with the potential hazards of pesticides to humans and the environment.
