Do spatially targeted weed management strategies increase risk of herbicide resistance evolution?

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Spray‐buffers reduce the effect of detection inaccuracies in spot spraying. We found a trade‐off between short‐term weed population control efficacy and long‐term prevention of herbicide resistance evolution. Abstract Background Spatially targeted spraying is an alternative to broadcast herbicide application that reduces herbicide use by restricting ...

Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

Persistence of seed‐applied pesticides in soybeans: environmental influences and implications for crop protection

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Early soybean planting in cool, wet soils slows emergence and results in about half the insecticide and fungicide concentrations at vegetative emergence compared with standard planting, where faster emergence maintains roughly double the pesticide concentrations, yet pesticide persistence remains similar across both planting dates.

Identification, quantification, and management of human health risks from long‐distance pesticide transport

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Pesticides can move through air, water, and global trade networks after application, exposing populations far from the original source, while most risk assessments and regulations still treat pesticide exposure as a local problem. This perspective offers a new framework to define, trace, and quantify long‐distance pesticide risk across connected ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...
