Exploring ground and low-lying excited states for diquat, paraquat, and dipyridyl isomers

Carbon Management in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Terrestrial Systems

Information on dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural soils is gaining importance because of its impacts on climate change and benefits for crop productivity. Conservation agriculture,…

Conservation Agriculture and C Sequestration in Tropical Regions

This chapter discusses the status, problems and prospects of conservation agriculture (CA) in the smallholder farming system in the tropics. The resource conservation technology in the form of…

Paraquat: Toxicology and Impacts of Its Ban on Human Health and Agriculture

Though the paraquat ban can be considered as a national strategy to lower suicide rates, the increase in suicide attempts with other poisons suggests that multilateral efforts are required for not only keeping suicidal agents away from people but also minimizing motives for suicide.
