This book collects papers from meetings of the American Chemical Society held over the past four years, reporting on trends in research for safe, efficient, biologically active agrochemicals. After an overview chapter, a section describes efforts in the discovery of new herbicides. A second section describes new insecticides and highlights the development of the new DuPont insecticide Indoxacarb. A final section deals with the control of plant fungal diseases. Specific topics include synthesis and biological activity of semicarbazone insecticides, rhamnose replacement analogs of Spinosyn A, insecticidal oxazolines, a new type of neonicotinoid insecticide, and calvatic acid and its analogues as agricultural fungicides.
