It attempts to assess the pesticide burdens of the major food-producing tropical countries using case studies from different coastal tropical regions. In addition, this book analyzes pesticide usage in these coastal regions and the effect of agricultural runoff, carrying the residues of insecticides, fungicides and other pesticides, on the health of nearby rivers and streams.text/plainen-USIn CopyrightWater managementSoil managementTropical zonesPest managementSustainable agricultureSustainabilityPesticidesInsecticideFungicideCoastal regionsEstuaryEcosystem Farm/Enterprise Scale Field Scale Governance WatershedAbstractCopyright 2003 Milton D.
