Targeted herbicide spraying systems: role of nozzle type, number of nozzle activation, nozzle orientation, and boom height on spray coverage and weed control

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Targeted herbicide application technology performance depends on sprayer configuration. Across five studies, activation of multiple, overlapping nozzles and maintaining appropriate boom height consistently improved spray coverage and weed control, highlighting the importance of optimized sprayer setup for effective and reliable weed control.

Host tree preference and performance of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) on Scots pine

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ips typographus showed lower reproductive output in an occasional host (Pinus sylvestris) under laboratory conditions, and did not prefer its main host (Picea abies) over P. sylvestris in two‐choice bioassays. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is one of the most serious pests of Norway spruce (NS, Picea abies), with ...

Unlocking the potential of stimuli‐responsive liquid crystal polymer bio‐interfaces for adaptive cell modulation

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
This Perspective discusses the potential of stimuli‐responsive liquid crystal polymer bio‐interfaces in modulating cell behavior as next generation dynamic artificial scaffolds. Unlike current artificial biomaterials that have static properties, LCPs offer fast, reversible, and spatially programmable deformation that reflects the dynamic properties of ...

Farmers’ Preferences for Sustainable Crop Protection: An Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Approach

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes farmers' preferences for sustainable crop protection, focusing on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices by incorporating social‐psychological factors to capture economic and behavioral dimensions. Using data from German and Polish potato farmers, we apply an integrated choice and latent variable framework that combines

Modeling the Thermal Properties of Hydrogen‐Based Direct Reduced Iron Using Computational Thermodynamics and Machine Learning

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
Hydrogen‐based direct reduced iron (H‐DRI) melts differently from scrap and carbon‐bearing DRI. This work combines differential scanning calorimetry experiments, FactSage thermodynamics, and simple composition‐based regression to predict solidus, liquidus, heat capacity, and enthalpy for H‐DRI.
