Enormous increases in agricultural productivity can properly be
associated with the use of chemicals. This statement applies
equally to crop production through the use of fertilizers,
herbicides and pesticides, as to livestock production and the
associated use of drugs, steroids and other growth accelerators.
There is, however a dark side to this picture and it is important
to balance the benefits which flow from the use of agricultural
chemicals against their environmental impacts which sometimes are
seriously disadvantageous. Agricultural Chemicals and the
Environment explores a variety of issues which currently are
subject to wide-ranging debate and are of concern not only to the
scientific establishment and to students, but also to farmers,
landowners, managers, legislators, and to the general public.
