Towards Reduced Pesticide Use for Cereal Crops in Asia [PDF]
Several opportunities are available for dramatically reducing the use of agrochemicals in Asian cereal crop production. The first section of this paper summarizes past trends and future prospects for pesticide use in Asia for the three major cereal crops:

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production
Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Biodiversity and economic incentives in agriculture : integrating bird fauna values into decision-making [PDF]
, 2005 Our optimal control model identifies economic reasons as to why several farmland bird populations have dramatically declined in modern agricultural landscapes. By integrating bird fauna values into decision-making on cereal crop choice, herbicide use and

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Abundance of Coccinellids and Their Potential Prey in Field-Crop and Grass Habitats in Eastern South Dakota [PDF]
, 2018 A rich fauna of coccinellids occurs in eastern South Dakota, but the abundance of some species has declined in association with the establishment of an exotic lady beetle, Coccinella septempunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), in the mid-1980s.

Fate of the organophosphate herbicide glyphosate in arable soils and its relationship to soil phosphorus status [PDF]
, 2009 Glyphosate is one of the world's most widely used herbicides. This study was undertaken to unravel the factors affecting its movement, sorption, persistence and leachability in different Finnish soils to create a sound basis for risk assessment. Field

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of air quality regulations targeting fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on farmland values in corn and soybean producing counties in the United States over the period 1997–2022. Using self‐reported farmland value data from the Agricultural Census and county‐level pollution classifications provided by the Environmental ...
