This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Download or read book Manual para el cultivo de frutales en el tr pico Frutales miscel neos written by Walter Torres and published by Produmedios. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Un nuevo libro en manos del público es muy significativo para una sociedad, pero un libro calificado como de "gran tamaño" y que a la vez haga referencia a una actividad que, como los frutales para Colombia, puede constituirse al lado del café, las flores y el banano en referente obligado de nuestra identidad ante el mundo en los próximos 20 años, tiene una altísima dosis de motivación, no solo desde el punto de vista de los estudiosos de la fruticultura -especialistas y neófitos- sino, principalmente, desde el ángulo de los inversionistas y de los diseñadores de políticas públicas, que tendrán el reto de hacer realidad lo que hasta hoy ha sido una mera lisonja: el tránsito real de una fruticultura de patio a una fruticultura comercial con claros entronques en los principales mercados internacionales. Por esta razón, y porque en las actuales circunstancias nuestro país tiene dentro de sus apuestas productivas y comerciales, en el marco de los tratados de libre comercio, esperanzas ciertas en este importante renglón productivo, para el Ministerio de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural más que pertinente resulta oportuno y reconfortante presentar el libro "Manual para el cultivo de frutales en el trópico", que a través de 1024 páginas reúne la experiencia y la visión de un selecto grupo de 48 autores y coautores de reconocida trascendencia en el ámbito de la docencia, de la investigación y del propio ejercicio profesional, en una mixtura que recoge, de manera integral y propicia, los diferentes quehaceres de la actividad frutícola con identidad nacional, pero naturalmente con aplicación a la fruticultura del trópico en general."

Download or read book Local Food Plants of Brazil written by Michelle Cristine Medeiros Jacob and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been growing academic interest in local food plants. This is a subject that lies at the frontiers of knowledge of various areas, such as environmental sciences, nutrition, public health, and humanities. To date, however, we do not have a book bringing these multi-disciplinary perspectives to bear on this complex field. This book presents the current state of knowledge on local Brazilian food plants through a multidisciplinary approach, including an overview of food plants in Brazil, as well as comprehensive nutritional data. It compiles basic theories on the interrelationship between biodiversity and food and nutrition security, as well as ethnobotanical knowledge of local Brazilian food plants. Additionally, this title provides various methods of learning and teaching the subject, including through social media, artificial intelligence, and through workshops, among others.

Download or read book Ethnobotany of Mexico written by Rafael Lira and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-23 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the history, current state of knowledge, and different research approaches and techniques of studies on interactions between humans and plants in an important area of agriculture and ongoing plant domestication: Mesoamerica. Leading scholars and key research groups in Mexico discuss essential topics as well as contributions from international research groups that have conducted studies on ethnobotany and domestication of plants in the region.

Download or read book Applications of PCR in Mycology written by P. D. Bridge and published by CABI. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the initial report of the amplification of specific DNA fragments using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 1985, this technique has revolutionized molecular biology. It enables the production of large quantities of DNA from minute amounts of sample material, which can then be readily analyzed. This facility has had an enormous influence on the way both fundamental and diagnostic questions are approached and its use is now considered essential for molecular work in all branches of biology. The purpose of this book is to highlight the wide-ranging applications of PCR in pure and applied mycology and to increase understanding of its potential benefits. After a brief overview, a group of internationally-renowned mycologists give definitive descriptions of the use of PCR in their own specialized fields. These include fungal gene expression and cloning, taxonomy and speciation, fungal mycobionts, mycorrhizal fungi, entomopathogenic fungi, mycotoxin-producing fungi, diagnosis of fungal infections in animals, seed-borne diseases, fungal/plant interactions and applications with industrially-important fungi. Finally, potential future directions for PCR work in mycology are discussed.
