The chapters concerning the physiology and cultivation of Poppy and alternative raw materials give a detailed presentation of this complex issue.

Also discussed are the pharmalogical effectiveness and application of opiates, as well as the international control of their processing and trade, and the modern approach to compiling both the chemical and biotechnological information concerning poppy.
