Algae and pesticides

  • Conference paper
Residue Reviews

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 66))

Abstract

The widespread use of pesticides1 has greatly aided man in improving many aspects of daily life; however, their use has also created many problems. The effect of these chemicals on nontarget organisms, either directly or indirectly, is a significant problem which must be dealt with when using pesticides. A very important group of nontarget organisms is the algae.

Editor’s note: The review by S. H. Hurlbert: Secondary effects of pesticides on aquatic ecosystems. Residue Reviews 57, 81 (1975) was not available to the author when the present review was prepared.
