Modeling Foliar Infection Dynamics in Wheat Using a SEIR Framework: Effects of Seed Treatment and Foliar Fungicide Under Mediterranean Conditions

Agrochemicals
The foliar pathogens of wheat, particularly Zymoseptoria tritici and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, represent a significant threat to yield. We used a SEIR (Susceptible–Exposed–Infected–Removed) model to quantify epidemic dynamics based on different ...

High‐performance tetrahedral palladium nanocatalyst for microwave‐assisted organic synthesis

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Tetrahedral palladium nanoparticles anchored on graphene sheets (T‐Pd/graphene) were synthesized through a solvent‐free process involving thermal decomposition in an environment rich in carbon monoxide at elevated temperatures and have high catalytic activity for organic chemistry reactions. Abstract Palladium is widely recognized for its effectiveness

Insights on the Use of Pesticides in Two Main Food-Supplier Coastal Valleys of Lima City, Peru

Agrochemicals
The food security of Lima—Peru’s capital city, which shelters over 30% of the total country’s population—depends on the food production of its nearest agricultural areas, the Chancay-Huaral and Chillón valleys, wherein agrochemicals are widely used. This

Reduction in Nitrogen Fertilization Rate for Spring Wheat Due to Carbon Mineralization-Induced Nitrogen Mineralization

Agrochemicals
Using predicted potential N mineralization (PNM) from its relationship with CO2 flush at 1 d incubation (CF) of soil samples in recommended N rates can reduce N fertilization rates for crops. This study used predicted PNM at the 0–15 cm depth to reduce N

Stakeholder‐Driven Food Policy and Multilevel Governance for Agri‐Food Systems Resilience: Integrating Climate Change, Food Security, and Biodiversity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate‐resilient food systems require simultaneously addressing climate mitigation, food security, and biodiversity conservation. Yet most policy frameworks treat these interdependent goals as separate challenges, fragmenting action across sectors.

Free Phenolic Hydroxyl Groups Govern the Anticancer Activity of α‐Mangostin: A Structure–Activity Relationship Insight

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Free phenolic hydroxyl groups in the chemical structure of the natural xanthone α‐mangostin (MGT) contribute positively to achieving the anticancer profile against murine colon cancer, murine triple negative breast cancer, and human osteosarcoma cancer. ABSTRACT The α‐mangostin (MGT) is a natural xanthone obtained from the pericarp of mangosteen fruit (
