Management of Herbicide-Resistant weed beet: a simulation study [PDF]

, 2008
In regions of sugar beet cultivation, weed beet infestations are responsible for economic losses. Weed beet belongs to the same species as the cropped plant, thus rendering herbicide control impossible in conventional sugar beet where costly practices such as manual weeding of bolters must be carried out instead. Genetically-modified herbicide-tolerant

(Not) Covering Climate Risks: A Multimodal News Framing Analysis of Soil Health Reporting in the UK Press

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government, but our analysis of two years of UK newspaper coverage on this issue reveals very little attention to it. Our multimodal framing analysis shows that news reports are largely devoid of addressing the root causes ...

Facilitated Transport of Organic Contaminants in a High Concentration, Multicomponent Plume

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract A field experiment evaluated the transport of organic contaminants in a plume from hazardous waste disposal areas at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. The plume contained many xenobiotic contaminants, with widely varying expected mobilities.

When Numbers Mean Money: Pest Precision Sampling in High‐Density Mango Crops

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The development of sampling plans is essential for assertive decision‐making in integrated pest management programs. The present study aimed to develop a plan for monitoring major mango pests in high‐density mango crops in Brazil. For this purpose, the influence of the position of the branch to be sampled in the canopy (internal and external ...

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

Journal 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

Journal 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

Mapping the Milestones of Modern Times: Intellectual Landscape of Political Economy Through Bibliometric Analysis

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present the development and current state of the field of political economy. We implemented three bibliometric approaches (i.e., co‐citation, co‐word, and bibliographic coupling) and interpreted the results using the “invisible colleges” framework through six time frames (up until 1989, 1990–2001, 2002–2008, 2009–2016, 2017–2020, 2021–2023).

Things at Work: How Things Contribute to Performing Work

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract A crucial question for organizations is what constitutes work performance. While the importance of human competence and motivation to work performance has been established, less well understood is how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, and raw materials – contribute to work performance.
