The chemical control of livestock parasites: Problems and alternatives
Parasitology Today, 1990Over 200 classes of chemical compounds are currently in use for the treatment of livestock parasites. Here Les Strong and Richard Wall review some of the problems arising from the total reliance on chemical control and consider some of the alternative methods that might be given more thought and application.

NON-CHEMICAL ALTERNATIVES FOR WEED CONTROL IN CONTAINERIZED PLANTS
Acta Horticulturae, 2010Weeds are a serious problem in nursery for container production, because air, nutrien t and water are limited by the container volume. Chemical weeding is the main method to control weeds in nurseries but problems as proper calibration, herbicide run-off, need for multiple applications and product cost must be taken into account.

Alternative disinfectant chemicals for trihalomethane control ‐ a review
Environmental Technology Letters, 1989Abstract Chlorination is the most commonly used and best characterised process for disinfection of drinking water. Concern over the possible health risks of chlorination by‐products, particularly trihalomethanes, has led to a re‐evaluation of existing treatment processes and the benefits of using alternative disinfectants to chlorine.

Chemical alternatives to methyl bromide for the control of root‐knot nematodes in greenhouses
Pest Management Science, 2002Abstract The complete phase‐out of methyl bromide from use in developed countries by 1 January 2005 will cause many problems in agricultural industries that are now heavily reliant on its use. Three field experiments were established to compare management tactics on tomato and cucumber in commercial greenhouses ...

Efficacy of alternatives to antibiotic chemicals for the control of fire blight of pears
Annals of Applied Biology, 2003SummaryThe efficacy of various chemicals as alternatives to antibiotics for the control of fireblight (Erwinia amylovora) on pear trees was tested. The chemicals were applied in two ways. In 1999 and 2000, preselected pear twigs (80–90% bloom stage) were sprayed once either preventively 1 day before inoculation or curatively one or three days after ...

Consider Aeration and Chemical Alternatives for Copper Corrosion Control
Opflow, 2013Several factors drive the need to reduce copper in water systems. However, because those drivers aren't the same for all systems, several options for reducing copper and resulting corrosion are available.

Alternate schemes for the coherent laser control of chemical reactions
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1993Several schemes are presented for the coherent laser control of chemical reactions. They are based on the principle of interference between quantum mechanical excitation pathways first proposed by Brumer and Shapiro [Acc. Chem. Res. 22, 407 (1989)]. The conclusion that these schemes may by useful for coherent laser control is based on the fact that ...

Controlling Kink Geometry in Nanowires Fabricated by Alternating Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching
Nano Letters, 2017Kinked silicon (Si) nanowires (NWs) have many special properties that make them attractive for a number of applications, such as microfluidics devices, microelectronic devices, and biosensors. However, fabricating NWs with controlled three-dimensional (3D) geometry has been challenging.

Pest Management Science, 2011
AbstractBACKGROUND: Producers of several high‐value crops in California have traditionally used preplant soil fumigation with methyl bromide/chloropicrin combinations. Although methyl bromide has been phased out since 2005, several crop industries, including cut flower producers, have continued methyl bromide use under Critical Use Exemptions, a ...
