These work attempt to enhance the conventional production process of pesticides, thereby upgrading the quality of pesticides in Taiwan. In particular, the Division has been quite successful in synthesizing insect sex pheromones, analyzing and identifying impurities in pesticide products, and establishing specifications for some pesticides. These specifications are used by quality assurance laboratories to ensure high quality agrochemical produce which are produced using adequate state-of-the-art agrichemical manufacturing techniques MAIN WORK Organic synthesis of pesticide compounds The identification of organic compounds Study of pesticide stability and establishment of specifications   AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, COUNCIL OF AGRICULTURE, EXECUTIVE YUAN.
