This book was released on 1981 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large portable enclosure method for assessing hazards of vertebrate pesticides to nontarget game birds under simulated field conditions is described. In each (9.8 by 2.4 by 1.2-m) enclosure, small groups of test birds are exposed to one of several levels of pesticide treatment similar to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's protocol for large-pen simulated field studies. The versatility of portable enclosures allows tests to be conducted over various natural or cultivated food crops to simulate various patterns of pesticide use. Birds are given free choice of dry bait pesticides and naturally occurring food crops. During testing, the enclosures are moved daily over similarly treated areas to provide a constant pesticide exposure factor and to replenish the available forage for test birds. A fluorescent particle tracer is used in the pesticide formulation to assess the daily acceptance of pesticide material by the test birds from fecal analysis. Advantages and possible applications of this method are discussed.

Download or read book The Future Role of Pesticides in US Agriculture written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-11-02 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although chemical pesticides safeguard crops and improve farm productivity, they are increasingly feared for their potentially dangerous residues and their effects on ecosystems. The Future Role of Pesticides explores the role of chemical pesticides in the decade ahead and identifies the most promising opportunities for increasing the benefits and reducing the risks of pesticide use. The committee recommends R&D, program, and policy initiatives for federal agriculture authorities and other stakeholders in the public and private sectors. This book presents clear overviews of key factors in chemical pesticide use, including: Advances in genetic engineering not only of pest-resistant crops but also of pests themselves. Problems in pesticide useâ€"concerns about the health of agricultural workers, the ability of pests to develop resistance, issues of public perception, and more. Impending shifts in agricultureâ€"globalization of the economy, biological "invasions" of organisms, rising sensitivity toward cross-border environmental issues, and other trends. With a model and working examples, this book offers guidance on how to assess various pest control strategies available to today's agriculturist.

This book was released on 1995-09-30 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book covers the various aspects of the use of pesticides, their behavior, degradation, and impacts in wetland ricefields, and presents the results of surveys conducted in the Philippines and Thailand. It includes both bibliographic reviews and selected aspects of the experimental results of a research project on pesticide impacts in wetland ricefields. The first phase of the `Pesticide Impact' project was developed in the Philippines from 1989 to 1991. It was a multidisciplinary/collaborative approach involving scientists from IRRI, NRI (England), ORSTOM (France), UPLB (Philippines) who studied the effects of pesticides on the environment and on farmers' health, and the economical aspects of their use.
