Integrating anaerobic and photochemical processes: UV–vis‐driven post‐treatment for micropollutant abatement and toxicity control in UASB secondary effluent

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors are widely used in low‐ and middle‐income countries, but secondary effluents may still contain organic micropollutants and residual toxicity. This study evaluated UV–Vis photolysis and UV/H2O2 as post‐treatment options for UASB secondary effluent (SE), integrating micropollutant ...

Polymeric nano‐delivery of gibberellic acid enhances fruit quality, yield and pedicel strength in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Nanoparticulate systems offer an effective strategy for the targeted delivery of agrochemicals and for enhancing their efficacy. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize gibberellic acid (GA3)‐loaded poly(d,l‐lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) and to evaluate the effects of their application on the flower ...

THE VALUE OF INFORMATION IN HERBICIDE DECISION MAKING FOR WEED CONTROL IN AUSTRALIAN WHEAT CROPS [PDF]

Most weed control decisions are made with the benefit of some information about weather conditions and actual weed densities. This study is an investigation of the value of adjusting weed control decisions in response to these types of information. For a

Landscape drivers of scaled quail occurrence across a broad spatiotemporal scale: implications for habitat management

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.

OFF-FARM WORK AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF ADOPTING HERBICIDE-TOLERANT CROPS [PDF]

This paper examines the hypothesis that farmers may be adopting herbicide-tolerant crops because of the simplicity and flexibility of weed control, freeing management time.

Long‐Term Operation of Photovoltaic Power Stations Promotes Soil Carbon Sequestration but Induces Stoichiometric C:N:P Imbalance in Desert Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon‐nitrogen‐phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry governs nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration in desert ecosystems, yet how large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) deployment, a cornerstone of global carbon neutrality, shifts these stoichiometric balances and whether such shifts enhance or degrade long‐term land function remain unresolved over

Full-season herbicide programs to control a seven-way-resistant Palmer amaranth accession under soybean technologies

Weed Technology
A seven-way herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth accession (MSR2) was identified in AR. Herbicide programs providing season-long control of this problematic accession need to be investigated, especially within the current soybean portfolio.

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Measuring and modelling parameters from hyperspectral sensors for site-specific crop protection [PDF]

, 2010
This thesis sought to optimise systems for plant protection in precision agriculture through developing a field method for estimating crop status parameters from hyperspectral sensors, and an empirical model for estimating the required herbicide dose in ...
