Crop losses due to insect pests can be economically devastating to farmers and lead to the risk of food shortages. Pest-vectored disease can cause significant economic shortfalls and decimate public health by causing significant morbidity and mortality, especially in economically disadvantaged populations and those in neglected, developing regions. Traditionally, synthetic pesticides have been utilized to reduce these grave agricultural and public health concerns. However, pesticide overuse and misuse have led to widespread pesticide resistance and select environmental impacts that limit their long-term utility. Therefore, it is necessary to find new control approaches and chemistries that can reduce pest pressure sustainably without adverse environmental impacts.
Green Chemistry for Pest Management addresses the known examples of utilizing natural chemistry and other non-traditional methods to control pest insects, plants and rodents. Natural pesticides from plant, microbiological and animal sources are discussed, as is the use of natural products as lead compounds for the synthesis of biorational and semisynthetic pesticides.

About the Author
Joel Coats is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA. He received his B.S. from Arizona State University and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign with an Entomology major, Chemistry minor, with specialization in Insect Toxicology. For the past 35 years his research has focused on natural products and biorational analogues as insecticides, synergists, or repellents. He has received the International Award for Research in Agrochemicals (ACS) and the Award for Innovation in the Chemistry of Agriculture (ACS). He is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, the Entomological Society of America, the American Association of the Advancement of Science, and the Agrochemicals Division of the ACS.
Edmund Norris received his B.S. in molecular and cellular biology from the University of Illinois and earned a PhD in Entomology and Toxicology from Iowa State University in 2018. He is now a permanent Research Chemist at the Center for Medical, Agricultural, and Veterinary Entomology for the United States Department of Agriculture in Gainesville, FL. Dr. Norris’ current research focuses on the development of novel repellents and insecticidal formulations that may circumvent insecticide resistance, while primarily focusing on natural products as his inspiration. His research aims to better understand the mechanisms of novel insecticidal, repellent, and synergistic agents using a variety of electrophysiological, pharmacological, and biochemical techniques.
Dr George Kraus has worked on catalysis and green chemistry for more than 30 years at Iowa State University. He has been a Fellow of the Sloan Foundation and a recipient of a DuPont Young Faculty Award in 1976, a 3M Young Faculty Award in 1981, a Frasch Award in 1987, and ISU Regents Faculty Excellence Award, 2004. He has more than 350 publications and 25 patents.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to INDOO, Avenel, New Jersey, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
