Book Description
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Book Description
The book is fabricated exclusively for M.Sc. (Agri.) and Ph.D. degree programmes in Plant Pathology, for all the universities of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Sericulture and the related streams of Botany. ‘Chemicals in Plant Disease Management’ is a compulsory subject in several degree programmes. The present book solely caters to the students of Plant Pathology, as it covers a wide range of topics related to chemicals used to control plant diseases, viz., Agrochemicals used in plant disease management: Current scenario; History and development of agrochemicals; Formulations, application and phytotoxicity of agrochemicals; Classification and modes of action of agrochemicals; Registration and regulation of agrochemicals; Safe handling and use of agrochemicals; Compatibility and persistence of agrochemicals; Pollution and hazards by agrochemicals; and New generation fungicides. Special Features: There has been a gap of 30 years since the publication of a book on the subject addressed here, therefore, this book makes a novel appearance on Agrochemicals in recent times. Presently, there is no book available in the market covering the whole syllabus prescribed by the ICAR on Agrochemicals. To meet this requirement the book is designed to cover the entire syllabus prescribed by the ICAR for the courses in P.G. programmes on Plant Pathology. Recent developments in chemicals used in Plant Disease Management have been added, updated, and presented in a detailed manner. Serviceable Tables, Illustration, Figures, and Data are provided for an effective understanding, of both the students and the faculty. Appendices on ‘Read the Label’ and ‘Preparation of spray volume’ are provided. Detailed Glossary of key words used, has been given for important and frequently occurring topics. Exhaustive ‘Bibliography’ for further reading is also provisioned. Since the book is first of its kind, it is highly recommended for the students, faculty, policy makers, private and government pesticide industries, NGO’s, State Government Departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, and Sericulture. Apart from the students appearing for U.G. /P.G. Entrance Examinations in various Universities, several competitive examinations such as ARS, NET, SRF, JRF, IAS, KAS, progressive farmers and planters, and Seed companies, are also expected to be benefited by the book.

Book Description
The first United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Guidelines for the Safe Disposal of Chemicals used in the illicit manufacture of Drugs (STNAR/36) was published in 2006. At the 33rd meeting of the Heads of Law Enforcement Agencies (HONLEA) Asia and Pacific, in Bali, Indonesia in 2010, Member States noted the significant increase in precursor chemicals discovered regionally and expressed concern about the difficulties encountered in storing and disposing of precursor chemicals in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. The present Guidelines reflect the discussions of the experts at the Expert Group Meeting on Safe and Environmentally-Responsible Disposal of Chemicals Used in the Illicit Manufacture of Drugs held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 20 to 22 September 2010, and the elaboration of practical methods for the safe handling and disposal of seized chemicals in situations where a waste management infrastructure may not be available.
