PESTICIDES, UNLIKE M A N Y ADVANCES IN T E C H N O L O G Y that are based on
original work conducted by universities, originated in the chemical industry. New pesticides with commercial applications are still discovered almost entirely by that industry. The recipient of the Burdick and Jackson Award for Excellence in Pesticide Chemical Research is selected each year by an international committee of the Pesticide Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society. This prestigious award is given to recognize sustained outstanding contributions to the science of pesticide chemistry. Since its inception in 1969, it has been presented to a succession of eminent scientists from universities and government research stations. In 1984 the winner was, for the first time, a man who had spent his entire working life in the agrochemicals industry—Karl Heinz Buchel of Bayer A G of the Federal Republic of Germany. The award to Karl Heinz Buchel honors agricultural chemical research in industry throughout the world and particularly the German agrochemical industry that has made so many contributions starting with the time of Gerhard Schrader. This volume contains the presentations given by eminent members of the scientific community to honor Karl Buchel. Experts from the United States and Europe were brought together to discuss aspects of the chemistry of azole fungicides and ways in which this chemistry is being used for disease control in major food crops.
