The brief also introduces pesticides like Chlorpyrifos and biodegradable polymers like guar-gum. The brief will be extremely useful to the researchers in the field of agrochemicals and will be equally useful for advanced professionals in the field of biology, chemistry, environmental biology, entomology and horticulture.SpringerBriefs in molecular science.PesticidesPesticidesControlled releasePesticidesBiodegradationPolymersPesticides.PesticidesControlled release.PesticidesBiodegradation.Polymers.541.2610.28De Arnabauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut964068Bose Rituparnaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autKumar Ajeetauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMozumdar Subhoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910298638903321Targeted Delivery of Pesticides Using Biodegradable Polymeric Nanoparticles2495566UNINA
