Preface This book is the outcome of the symposium Pesticide Dose: Effects on the Environment and Target and Non-Target Organisms that was part of the Agrochemical Division of ACS program for the annual meeting held in Boston, Massachusetts in the summer of 2015. The symposium was organized by us (Stephen Duke and Per Kudsk) and Keith Solomon. Pesticide dose is a parameter that is central to pesticide efficacy, effects of pesticides on non-target organisms, evolution of pesticide resistance, and nonintended pesticide effects such as hormesis (the stimulatory effect of a sub-toxic dose of a toxin). Yet, to our knowledge, pesticide dose had never been the topic of a symposium or a book. This first book on the topic is not comprehensive, but covers most of what was discussed in the symposium. We thank the Agrochemical and Environmental Divisions of ACS for cosponsoring the symposium upon which this book is based. We also thank Dow AgroSciences for partial financial support of the symposium. December, 2016
