Environmental Benefits from Reduced Pesticide Use and Returns to Research: An Application to the U.S. Cotton Industry [PDF]

Cotton production is one of the main pesticide use industries in the U.S. This intensive use has resulted in the disruption of naturally occurring biological control factors that regulate other insect pest populations and “the pesticide treadmill”.

RESISTANCE TO CONTROL CHEMICALS IN AUSTRALIAN ARTHROPOD PESTS [PDF]

Australian Journal of Entomology, 1977
AbstractThe present status of resistance of Australian insect and acarine pests to control chemicals is summarized. Development of resistance is discussed as an inevitable evolutionary consequence of the intrinsic selective effect of chemical control practices, with implications that delaying or retarding the development of resistances is primarily a ...

Tailored Organogel Systems for Optimized Pesticide Delivery: Mechanistic Insights and Agricultural Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing molecular engineering for network design, three pesticide‐loaded organogels (PLOs) carriers exhibiting varying degrees of flexibility were prepared. The mechanical properties of these carriers, tunable via their network molecular structures, enhance their structural adaptability and retention stability at biological interfaces, thereby ...

Engineering New‐to‐Nature Biological Pathways for β,γ‐Alkanediol Synthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
β,γ‐Alkanediols are value‐added chemicals to be used as functional solvents, biofuels, and cosmetic components. This work demonstrates a carboligation‐mediated approach for synthesis of linear chain β,γ‐alkanediols in Escherichia coli, namely, hexane‐2,3‐diol (2,3‐HDO) and pentane‐2,3‐diol (2,3‐PDO). The engineered E. coli cells produce 152.2 mm (17.98

Beauveria bassiana strain ATCC 74040 (Naturalis®), a valuable tool for the control of the cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) [PDF]

, 2008
Naturalis® is a bioinsecticide based on living conidiospores of the naturally occuring Beauveria bassiana strain ATCC 74040. The entomopathogenic fungus acts primarily by contact: once attached to the insect’s cuticle, the conidiospores germinate ...

Wafer Scale III‐Nitride Deep‐Ultraviolet Vertical‐Cavity Surface‐Emitting Lasers Featuring Nanometer‐Class Control of Cavity Length

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A DUV‐VCSEL strategy featuring the nanometer‐class control of the cavity length is proposed in the DUV optoelectronic framework based on GaN templates. After the sapphire removal, a self‐terminated etching technology is developed, whereby the cavity length can be accurately determined by epitaxy instead of the fabrication process. As such, a record low
