Pollination services of managed common eastern bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in seedless watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)

Journal of Pollination Ecology
Seedless watermelon is a highly pollinator-dependent crop; in consequence, growers stock fields with managed pollinators to ensure high yields. Historically, only western honey bees (Apis mellifera) were used, but, more recently, growers have begun ...

Identities, concentrations, and sources of pesticide exposure in pollen collected by managed bees during blueberry pollination

Scientific Reports, 2021
Bees are critical for crop pollination, but there is limited information on levels and sources of pesticide exposure in commercial agriculture. We collected pollen from foraging honey bees and bumble bees returning to colonies placed in blooming ...

Mycotoxin management in the cereal supply chain: Advanced detection, detoxification, and smart packaging strategies

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Mycotoxins remain a persistent threat to the safety and quality of cereal grains and other agricultural products, and their impact on human health continues to raise global concerns. In many situations, the practices traditionally used to control these toxins are no longer sufficiently effective. They can be costly, difficult to implement on a
