Objectives of the Course

Historical development, use and necessity of pesticides since they were used the first time will be explained. Classification and application fields of pesticides in the agriculture will be explained.

Course Content

The effect of chemical and physical properties of pesticides on environmental pollution, risk and risk assessment will be focused. Critical points of pesticides for causing pollution from production in the factory to the application in the field and mechanisms for control of them will be examined. Process and residual risk after application on the field and control mechanism with help of models will be illustrated.
