The fertilising potential of manure-based biogas fermentation residues: pelleted vs. liquid digestate

Heliyon, 2020
Spreading of manure on agricultural soils is a main source of ammonia emissions and/or nitrate leaching. It has been addressed by the European Union with the Directives 2001/81/EC and 91/676/EEC to protect the environment and the human health.

An early warning system to predict and mitigate wheat rust diseases in Ethiopia

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Wheat rust diseases pose one of the greatest threats to global food security, including subsistence farmers in Ethiopia. The fungal spores transmitting wheat rust are dispersed by wind and can remain infectious after dispersal over long distances.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...
