Dependent Articulation in the Global Pesticide Complex: Argentina's Agrochemical Industry After the Generics Market Revolution

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, the pesticide industry has undergone a ‘generics revolution’ as the centre of production, and trade has shifted to the global South. China and India have become major producers, capturing Latin American markets from Northern multinationals. As a major pesticide user and a key node in global supply chains, Argentina offers

The impact of acute exposure to the glyphosate-based herbicide Templo® on yellowtail tetra fish Astyanax lacustris, both before and after treatment through a vertical flow constructed wetland system

Neotropical Ichthyology
Numerous studies have investigated the genotoxicity of agricultural pesticides and potential alternatives for the treatment of contaminated wastewater. This particular study aimed to evaluate the cyto/genotoxic effects of the glyphosate-based commercial ...

The Impacts of Farm Size and Economic Risk on No-Till Rice Whole-Farm Profitability [PDF]

This study evaluated the impacts of farm size and stochastic return variability on no-till (NT) rice profitability at the whole-farm level. Mixed integer programming was used to determine optimal machinery complements, fuel consumption, and machinery ...

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.

Chemical Control of the Invasive Tree Ailanthus altissima

Agriculture
Many natural areas are colonised by the invasive species Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle. Its presence in natural ecosystems damages the ecological richness while competing with native flora. A. altissima is one of the most widespread weed species in

Innovation, Licensing, and Competition: Evidence From Genetically Engineered Crops

The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We provide a novel empirical analysis of the role of technology licensing, between competitors, for genetically engineered (GE) traits in the US seed industry. We extend the standard differentiated‐product Bertrand pricing model to include trait licensing, which permits us to recover marginal costs and (otherwise unobserved) royalty rates ...

Current on-farm glyphosate uses and alternative practices in France

, 2019
With more than 7.500 tons sold in 2016 for agricultural uses, glyphosate is the most widely-used herbicide ingredient in France (Rboud et al., 2017). It is also a subject of public concern, regarding its potential hazards for human health and environment.

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

Product Life Cycles and Innovation in the US Seed Corn Industry [PDF]

The purpose of this study is to evaluate potential changes in the length of product life cycles in the US seed corn industry. We use the observed survival time on the market for hybrids sold during 1997-2009 to conduct a survival analysis.
