PESTICIDE APPLICATION METHODS Pesticide Application Methods is the standard work for all those involved in crop protection. This fully revised and expanded edition provides up-to-date information on the different types of application techniques and how they should be used to ensure efficient and effective pest control. The third edition of this excellent book was published more than 10 years ago, since when a number of important developments have taken place. Examples include changes to legislation both in the EU and USA concerning water quality. This has an impact on how spray is applied and, more particularly, how the sprayer is designed to minimise quantities that remain in the equipment when spraying is completed, and in addition inform how and when the sprayer is cleaned. Concern about spray drift has also continued and has led to more research on how to reduce the amount of spray that moves downwind from a treated area. Important new information on this topic is included within the new edition. Professor Graham Matthews has been joined by two new co-authors to increase the breadth and depth of coverage in this updated edition of Pesticide Application Methods. This important new edition is a commercially significant reference tool and will be of great use and interest to all those working in crop protection, including agricultural entomologists and plant pathologists, pesticide scientists, advisors and consultants, large-scale growers, agricultural and horticultural scientists, agrochemical industry personnel including those involved in equipment supply and product formulation. Libraries in government and commercial research establishments, universities and agricultural colleges where agricultural and biological sciences are studied and taught should have multiple copies of this definitive book on their shelves.

G. A. Matthews is Emeritus Professor at the International Pesticide Application Research Centre, Imperial College, Silwood Park, Ascot, UK. Graham has authored several books for Wiley Blackwell including Pesticides (2006) and Integrated Vector Management (2011). He is a world-renowned expert in methods of pest control. Roy Bateman is Visiting Lecturer at the International Pesticide Application Research Centre, Imperial College, Silwood Park, Ascot, UK, as well as at Harper Adams University, UK, and Nong Lam University, Vietnam. Roy is also Chair of the British Crop Production Council's Expert Working Group on Application Methods. Paul Miller is Head of the Spray Applications Unit at the National Institute of Agricultural Botany at Silsoe, Bedford, UK.
