Six Chemicals That Changed Agriculture is a scientific look at how the chemicals used in today's food production were developed, evaluated, and came to be in wide-spread use. From fertilizers to pest management, antibiotics to DNA, chemicals have transformed the way our food is grown, protected, and processed. Agriculture is the world's most important environment interaction, the essential human activity, and an increasingly controversial activity because of its use and presumed misuse of chemistry. The major characteristics of US agriculture for at least the last six decades have been risiAgricultural chemicalsLimeNitrogen fertilizersAgricultural chemicals.Lime.Nitrogen fertilizers.630.24Zimdahl Robert L.282942MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797367903321Six chemicals that changed agriculture3725567UNINA05018nam 22006975 450 991101865480332120250726130241.09789819681228(electronic bk.)978981968121110.1007/978-981-96-8122-8(MiAaPQ)EBC32246669(Au-PeEL)EBL32246669(CKB)39723012100041(DE-He213)978-981-96-8122-8(EXLCZ)993972301210004120250726d2025 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAt War with the Single Strand How Indian Science Fought the COVID-19 Pandemic /edited by Renu Swarup, Govindarajan Padmanaban, Narendra Kumar Arora1st ed. 2025.Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (287 pages)Print version: Swarup, Renu At War with the Single Strand Singapore : Springer,c2025 9789819681211 Ch 1 Evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus Spike Glycoprotein During the Covid-19 Pandemic -- Ch 2 Laying the Roadmap for a Robust R&D Ecosystem -- Ch 3 Understanding the virus -The Evolving Mutations -- Ch 4 Leveraging the Scientific Strength to test , track & treat.
