Herbicides are of great importance in weed management and are one
of the most widely used pesticide groups for weed control across
the globe. Concerns around the residual effects of these
intensively used chemicals are equally widespread. Offering a new
direction for research that focuses on herbicide behavior and its
impacts on the environment, this book covers the use of
radioisotopes in weed research and the detoxification of
herbicides. Applying technological advances in radiation detection,
Radioisotopes in Weed Research explains how isotopic techniques can
be used to identify degradation products and trace the fate of
herbicides applied to crop plants. This book provides essential
information on the historical use and recent advances of
radioisotopes in weed research. It demonstrates the potential these
methods offer the field of weed science in gaining a better
understanding of the behavior of herbicides in plants and soil and
working to ensure the continuous, effective, and safe use of
herbicides, minimizing harmful impacts on ecosystems. Features:
Explains the radiometric method with studies of radiolabelled
herbicides and includes case studies as examples Describes
radiometric methods to study the behavior of herbicides in soil
from transport and transformation to retention Elucidates the
absorption, translocation, and metabolism studies of herbicides in
plants Authored by a team of leading scientists, this book is
written for professors, researchers, extensionists, graduate and
undergraduate students, rural producers, and other professionals
involved in weed science.
