Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.

Microbes that degrade chloropicrin [PDF]
, 2010 Methyl bromide is a broad-spectrum pesticide that successfully controls insects, weeds, rodents, and several pathogens in agricultural crops; however, its use is strongly restricted by international agreement.

Distribution of Chloropicrin Used Alone or Mixed with 80:20 to Fumigate Wheat and Sorghum [PDF]
, 2021 Excerpts from the report: Although chloropicrin has been used as a grain fumigant for many years, published data on its distribution in large grain masses are nearly nonexistent.

Receptor‐Free Identification of Toxic Gases Enabled by Hygroscopic Aqueous Salt Films
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 75, 17 September 2026.Water as a gas sensor coating sounds impossible—until it stops evaporating. Here, hygroscopic salt solutions (LiCl, LiBr, H3PO4) form non‐drying aqueous films on CNT chemiresistors under ambient air. Gases partition into these liquid layers, sometimes transforming into water, and generate salt‐specific resistance fingerprints across a four‐channel ...

In fumigating Verticillium-infested soils, potassium deficiencies in cotton go down, yields go up
California Agriculture, 1992 Potassium deficiency symptoms occur on Acala SJ-2 cotton when the soils, by test, are not deficient and when other crops grow well without additions of potassium.

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2026.This work presents a physics‐informed simulation pipeline that learns photoluminescence baseline drift, measurement noise and analyte‐induced quenching from limited experimental data. The model generates abundant, realistic and fully labeled sensor time‐series with controllable detection events.

Whole orchard recycling in California's Central Valley: Benefits, management, and adoption
Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 5, September/October 2026.Abstract Whole orchard recycling (WOR) has become a common practice in California (CA) orchards and vineyards due to declining options for agricultural biomass disposal. WOR is the process by which entire orchards or vineyards are shredded into chips, spread onto the soil surface, and incorporated into the soil before replanting a new crop.

Ecological Impacts of Chemical Fumigants on Nematode Community Composition
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.Chemical fumigants impact nematode diversity, community composition and nematode‐based indices. ABSTRACT Soil fumigation is widely used to control targeted plant‐parasitic nematodes in agricultural systems, but how they affect nematode communities and nematode‐based indices (NBIs) has remained underexplored.
