Abstract
For over 80 years the scientists around the world have been conducting laboratory experiments to help
understand the fate and the behaviour of pesticides in the ecosystem. “Once upon the time” the research
based on simple observations, simple measurements and analysis. “Once upon the time” the copper and
its salts while today we have hundred pesticide and metabolites with huge profile in safety and plant
health protection. Much has been learned over this time. Mathematical models, analytical chemistry,
applied biology have advanced maintaining the pesticide science the most advanced science-based regulation
allowing the implementation of pest strategies as well the achievement of food safety, human
security and health protection goals. However there still remain many things that we don’t know, or are
not able to predict but we are confident, and this collection of paper is the evidence, that such unbelievable
science - and its community - will remain also in the future pioneer on-demand of the science, of
the policy and of the stakeholder populations.
