Ecophysiology of Pesticides: Interface between Pesticide Chemistry and Plant Physiology is the first comprehensive overview of the physical impact of this increasingly complex environmental challenge. Designed to offer state-of-the-art knowledge, the book covers pesticide usage and its consequences on the ecophysiology of plants. It includes the challenge of policymaking in pesticide consumption and a risk analysis of conventional and modern approaches on standard usage. In addition, it summarizes research reports pertaining to the physio-ecological effects of pesticides, discusses the environmental risks associated with the over-utilization of pesticides, and covers pesticide usage on the micro-flora and rhizosphere.

This book is a valuable reference for plant ecologists, plant biochemists and chemists who want to study pesticide consumption and its biochemical and physiological evaluation effects on plants. It will also be of immense help to university and college teachers and students of environmental biotechnology, environmental botany and plant ecophysiology.

Dr. Sumira Jan has worked out numerous medicinal plants, focusing on their phyto-geographical distribution, ontogenetic changes, chemical profiling, chemo diversity, and pharmaceutical potential. She received BioCaRe Early Career Scientist Award (2014), prestigious Fast Track Young Scientist Award (2015) and CSIR pool scientist award (2018). She has published over 40 research papers, 16 book chapters and four books (Three with Elsevier and One with Springer). All these books are authored versions focused on the abiotic stress, eco-physiology and metabolomics of various crops.
