Dependent Articulation in the Global Pesticide Complex: Argentina's Agrochemical Industry After the Generics Market Revolution

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, the pesticide industry has undergone a ‘generics revolution’ as the centre of production, and trade has shifted to the global South. China and India have become major producers, capturing Latin American markets from Northern multinationals. As a major pesticide user and a key node in global supply chains, Argentina offers

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.
