Chemistry in the Garden, Paperback / softback Book

Chemistry in the Garden Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The aim of this book is to describe some aspects of the chemistry and chemical ecology which are found in the garden.

In the garden there are numerous interactions between plants, the soil and with other organisms in which chemistry plays a central mediating role.

The discussion concerns several of the chemically and ecologically interesting compounds that are produced by common ornamental garden plants and vegetables and by the predators that attack them.

Many chemists are amateur gardeners and this book is directed at them as well as those with a general interest in the scientific processes involved in the garden.
