The “Pesticide Chip”: Chemical Legacies and Agrarian Futures in Costa Rica

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract For decades, agro‐industrial capital has adopted cascading chemical and biotechnical interventions, or fixes, to secure accumulation through the cultivation of monocrops. We develop a framework that centres on how monocrop‐induced susceptibility to pests and pathogens—and the patchwork of fixes to address these—produces uneven chemical ...

Assessment of Phosphine Resistance in Major Stored-Product Insects in Greece Using Two Diagnostic Protocols

Insects
Post-harvest losses due to insect infestation and spoilage by bacteria and molds pose significant challenges to global cereal production. This study investigates the prevalence of resistance to phosphine, a commonly used grain protection agent, in stored-

Treatment with Plasma Activated (Salt) Water Sterilizes Macromolecular Coatings While Maintaining Their Integrity and Functionality

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 3, 3 February 2026.
PDMS samples were covalently coated with mucin glycoproteins and then treated with either plasma activated water (PAW) or saline (PAS) as a means of disinfection. The samples could be successfully sterilized without compromising the structural integrity or functionality of those coatings.

Evaluation of Wireless Phosphine Sensors for Monitoring Fumigation Gas in Wheat Stored in Farm Bins

Insects, 2019
Fumigation of grain bins with phosphine tablets is one method of insect control for stored products. Monitoring the concentration of the toxic gas at many locations over several days for a given structure or container can be challenging. In this study, a

Disease suppression of potting mixes amended with composted biowaste [PDF]

, 2005
Peat mining destroys valuable nature areas and contributes to the greenhouse effect. This warrants the search for alternatives for peat in potting mixes. Composted biowaste could provide such an alternative.

Dual‐Network Restriction in Dense EDTA‐Metal Coordination Polymers for Highly Efficient and Stable Organic RTP in Aqueous System

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Dense composites with excellent water stability and phosphorescence performance are constructed using EDTA‐metal coordination polymers as the host matrix. Based on the synergistic confinement effect of the coordination and non‐covalent dual‐network within the composites, a phosphorescence quantum yield as high as 53% is achieved, enabling their ...

Use of Chemical and Colorimetric Changes to Age Cryptotermes brevis Frass for Termite Management

Insects
Drywood termites are problematic timber pests worldwide. Cryptotermes brevis, the West Indian drywood termite, is among the most important of these pests, in part due to its cryptic nature, making it hard to detect in structures and thereby easy to ...
