Agricultural production is largely based on the use of agrochemicals in order to minimize pests, pathogens, and undesirable weeds toward increase production. In current situation, however, several threats are emerging that threaten food security, human environmental health, ecological balance, soil biodiversity. Agrochemicals may shift beneficial microorganisms community over time, with potenti...

The title compound, C(13)H(16)N(2)O(5), is useful as an inter-mediate in the field of agrochemicals. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of one six- and one five-membered nearly planar ring; the six-membered ring is also nearly coplanar with the adjacent benzene ring. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules.

Given the specific geographic and spatial location of rural areas in developing countries, to bring agrochemical to the rural farming households, it is argued, may have to come at a cost over and above the normal price it is sold in market. To this end, this work focuses on the willingness of rural farming households to pay more than the mean average regional retail price for agrochemicals in K...
