BOOK

The Biochemical Mode of Action of Pesticides

---

This book provides a systematic and detailed account of the biochemical mechanisms through which pesticides exert their toxic effects on living organisms. It classifies pesticides according to their primary biochemical targets, including:
compounds interfering with respiration and oxidative phosphorylation,
herbicides affecting photosynthesis,
insecticides inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and other nervous system functions,
chemicals disrupting cell growth, division, and development, and
pesticides with non‑specific or unknown modes of action.
The work also discusses resistance mechanisms, synergism, and safeners, making it a foundational reference for researchers and students in biochemistry, toxicology, pharmacology, and plant protection sciences.
