Reflections on Adoption of New Agricultural Practices

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on adoption of new practices, technologies and systems in agriculture has generated thousands of publications over the past 70 years, covering uptake of agricultural practices spanning more than 100 years. This paper contains selected key lessons from the results of this enormous research effort, drawn from numerous reviews of the ...

Neonicotinoid seed treatments do not consistently reduce insect feeding damage nor increase yields in Maryland soy

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We compared soybean plants from untreated and treated seeds across 4 sites and 3 years in Maryland. Neonicotinoid seed treatments (NST) provided little reduction in insect stippling damage and no reduction in chewing damage. NST did not result in increased plant biomass or bean yield. Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in seed treatments in

Smart double‐screening system of propagating male‐sterile lines for maize hybrid seed production

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Seed and Seedling Marker Method double‐screening system for maize hybrid seed production integrates Ms45‐mediated fertility restoration, Mn1/Sh1‐RNAi‐based seed selection, and Lc‐based seedling selection. It thus enables efficient, high‐purity propagation of male‐sterile lines by combining fertility maintenance with sequential visual selection at ...

CP32, a novel anti‐oomycete cyclic peptide, interferes with cell‐wall deposition in Phytophthora infestans

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The small cyclic peptide CP32 effectively inhibits Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight. Combined biochemical and phenotypic analyses demonstrate that CP32 disrupts cell wall biosynthesis, a key process in pathogen infection, resulting in a marked reduction of disease symptoms in plants.

Engineering glyphosate‐resistant watermelon by prime editing

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Editing the watermelon EPSPS gene using a prime editing platform with visible markers created a non‐transgenic glyphosate‐resistant line. These robust heterozygous mutants tolerate field‐level herbicide doses without growth penalties, serving as ideal parental lines for crop breeding.

The Generics Revolution and the New Economic Geography of the Global Pesticide Industry

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global pesticide industry transformed from one dominated by patented products and legacy multinationals with strong manufacturing bases in the United States and EU to one dominated by generic products produced in India and China. We use proprietary market research data, data from regulatory filings, industry press and bilateral trade data ...

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Herbicide Resistant Weeds: The Technology and Weed Management

open access: yes, 2013
Pest resistance to control methods in general is not an isolated phenomenon but usually expected and well demonstrated when any method is repeatedly applied over a long period of time without being changed or modified in nature, structure, principals of application or formulation.
