Enormous increases in agricultural productivity can properly be associated with the
use of chemicals. This statement applies equally to crop production through the use
of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, as to livestock production and the associated
use of drugs, steroids and other growth accelerators. There is, however a dark side
to this picture and it is important to balance the benefits which flow from the use
of agricultural chemicals against their environmental impacts which sometimes are
seriously disadvantageous. Agricultural Chemicals and the Environment explores a variety
of issues which currently are subject to wide-ranging debate and are of concern not
only to the scientific establishment and to students, but also to farmers, landowners,
managers, legislators, and to the general public
