Regulations and popular opinions about the role of fertilizer and pesticide products in society are in a constant state of flux, and intelligent decisions depend on having the best, most current information available.
A new book from Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment (RISE) and the American Chemical Society (ACS) provides the latest research from experts in academia, government and industry all together in one convenient place.
The peer-reviewed book, “The Fate of Nutrients and Plant Protection Chemicals in the Urban Environment,” compiles clear and comprehensive research data from the last decade that’s important to enabling both public understanding and informed policy decisions. The book records the proceedings of a landmark RISE workshop designed to provide researchers and environmental scientists with a forum to present research findings and practical information related to the realities of water quality issues, turfgrass and urban lawn maintenance practices.
“This book is a compilation of the most current, most important data available on pesticides and fertilizers for the lawn and turf industries today,” said Jim Skillen, RISE director of science and regulatory issues. “It places the most current information from experts in different areas all together in one volume, and is absolutely a must-have for anyone involved in the specialty fertilizer or pesticide industries.”
