Sound formulation is a vital aspect of microbial products used to
protect plants from pests and diseases and to improve plant performance.
Formulation of Microbial Biopesticides is an in-depth treatment of
this vitally important subject. Written by experts and carefully edited,
this important title brings together a huge wealth of information for
the first time within the covers of one book.
The book is broadly divided into five sections, covering principles of
formulation, organisms with peroral and contact modes of action,
organisms with the power of search, and future trends. Each section
contains comprehensive chapters written by internationally acknowledged
experts in the areas covered; the book also includes three very useful
appendices, cataloguing formulation additives, spray application
criteria and terminology.
This outstanding book is a vitally important reference work for anyone
involved in the formulation of microbial biopesticides and should find a
place on the shelves of agriculture and plant scientists,
microbiologists and entomologists working in academic and commercial
agrochemical situations, and in the libraries of all research
establishments and companies where this exciting subject is researched,
studied or taught.
