Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

Assessment of spatiotemporal trends in groundwater depth and salinity through GIS‐based geostatistical analysis: The case of Aksu Irrigation System in Antalya, Türkiye

River, EarlyView.
The study revealed that while groundwater depth trends were generally risk‐free, electrical conductivity showed localized risks in 38% of the Aksu Irrigation System. Overall, 25% of the area was classified as risky. The integrated GIS‐based approach provides a rapid, objective, and cost‐effective tool for precision water management. Abstract Continuous

Innovative synergistic optimization of drip irrigation and subsurface drainage for alleviating salinization and improving crop productivity in arid irrigation district

Agricultural Water Management
Drip irrigation, as a core water-saving technology in arid regions, holds great potential for improving agricultural water productivity, but its effectiveness is often constrained by soil salinization and improper coordination with drainage systems. This
