The study investigates the complex issue of bound pesticide residues in agricultural systems. This book compiles research presented at a 1985 meeting focused on quantifying and understanding the nature and bioavailability of these residues. It examines how pesticides bind to soil and plant components, and the implications for their uptake and potential presence in food sources.

This publication serves as a technical report from a specialized scientific meeting, likely intended for researchers and professionals in agricultural science, environmental chemistry, and toxicology. The content focuses on detailed analytical methods and scientific findings related to pesticide residue binding and bioavailability. Its reception would be within the scientific community, valued for its specific data and research contributions to understanding pesticide persistence and fate in the environment.
