The book will start with an overview of the process used by the National Organic Materials Standards Board to judge the acceptability of products for certification. The decision making process of the NOMSB will be compared to the risk assessment paradigm used for all pesticides. Biologically derived pesticides that are candidates for certified organic status will be discussed from the perspective of development, mode of action, and potential limitations to certification.Felsot, Allan S. is the author of 'Crop Protection Products for Organic Agriculture Environmental, Health, and Efficacy Assessment', published 2006 under ISBN 9780841238817 and ISBN 0841238812.
