Studies on the residue dissipation and chemical transformation of some new generation pesticides

Abstract

To feed the ever-increasing global population and meet nutritional demands, the newlinescientist community is zealous to increase agricultural production under limited available newlineland resources. Moreover, the proliferation of global trade amalgamated with continual newlineclimatic changes has elicited the pests and diseases to emerge as a matter of concern. newlineTherefore, to mitigate the setback imposed on agricultural output and to augment the newlineproduction, application of plant protection chemicals has popped up as one of the most newlinepromising approaches. However, the synthetic agrochemicals have their own set of flaws newlineexhibiting chances of resistance development in pests and pathogens, residual newlinecontamination of various ecosystems and manifesting negative impacts on the nontargets. newlineUsually the pesticidal molecules accumulate in the plant matrix via different newlineuptake and translocation pathways and persist there above the maximum residue limit newline(MRL). newline
