Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

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.

Understanding the Evidence Gaps: Diets and Fruit and Vegetable Intake Across Five Diverse Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This perspective article synthesizes findings from scoping reviews examining diet and F&V intake, and interventions to increase F&V consumption among population groups in five countries: Benin, Fiji, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tanzania. ABSTRACT Poor dietary quality, particularly inadequate fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, remains a significant ...

A SIMPLE METHOD ESTIMATES AND ECONOMIC INDICATORS OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS FOR DRIP IRRIGATION [PDF]

Ekonomika Poljoprivrede (1979), 2013
Obnovljiva, ekološka, fotonaponska (FN) solarna energija je jedan Od najatraktivnijih načina za pumpanje vode potrebne za navodnjavanje useva. Međutim, pošto su u ovom trenutku FN sistemi još uvek iziskuju visoka investicionim ulaganjima, neophodna je precizna procena veličine odgovarajuće instalacije.

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Machine Learning‐Driven Construction of High‐Yielding Cucumber Plant Architectures in Greenhouse Environments

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Schematic summary of the machine learning‐driven analysis for high‐yield cucumber architecture. This study employs machine learning methods to analyze key shoot and root traits, building a predictive model for yield. The analysis identifies an optimal plant architecture: a compact and sturdy shoot structure, combined with a narrow yet larger‐diameter ...

A Comparative Field Assessment of Nano-Irrigation and Subsurface Drip Irrigation Methods in Central Iraq

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract The experiment was conducted in winter season in the Abbasiya-Najaf Governorate, which is part of the Middle Euphrates region, during 2022-2023. Clayey-green alluvial texture soils were selected for the study and a complete randomized block design (CRBD) was used.
