Economics of spatial coexistence of genetically modified and conventional crops: Oilseed rape in Central France [PDF]
Europe is currently struggling to implement coherent coexistence regulations on genetically modified (GM) and non-GM crops in all EU Member States. We conduct simulations with the software ArcView® on a GIS dataset of a hypothetical case of GM herbicide ...

Damage Tolerant Active Contro l: Concept and State of the Art [PDF]
, 2012 Damage tolerant active control is a new research area relating to fault tolerant control design applied to mechanical structures. It encompasses several techniques already used to design controllers and to detect and to diagnose faults, as well to ...

No Cocoa Without Deforestation? A Field‐Type Analysis of Forest Frontiers in West Africa
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyses the interrelations of production systems, class relations and deforestation in a smallholder forest frontier. Using the concept of field types, we provide a plot‐level analysis of deforestation processes in West Africa, where smallholders convert forest into cocoa farms.

Environmental Concerns with the Development of Herbicide-Tolerant Plants
, 1992 Development of herbicide-tolerant plants is the focus of considerable research. Some projects aim to increase herbicide use or promote use of particularly environmentally damaging chemicals, and thus may lead to environmental degradation.

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT What do pesticide companies do to keep their products on the market despite strong societal and scientific critiques of their environmental and health risks? This paper examines the herbicide paraquat, one of the most controversial pesticides, from the early 1960s to the present.

Adoption of Conservation-Tillage Methods and Genetically Modified Cotton [PDF]
Adoption of herbicide-tolerant cotton and conservation tillage may be simultaneously related. Bayes' theorem and a two-equation logit model were used to test the simultaneity hypothesis. Evidence for Tennessee suggests that adoption of these technologies

Development of Herbicide Tolerant Tomato [PDF]
, 2017 Tomato is a major horticulture crop grown across the globe. Unfortunately, its yield is reduced by 25% because of auxin herbicides and glyphosate drift. In this present study, wild germplasm of tomato was screened for herbicide tolerance.

The Global Pesticide Complex: Infrastructure, Fragility and Frontiers of Agrarian Change
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although most pesticides have long been on the market, the political economy surrounding their production, regulation and use has undergone considerable change, spurring renewed interest in the social sciences. The global pesticide complex (GPC) is an analytical device to understand the multidimensional nature of these changes. In this special

Policies for the regulation of coexistence between GM and conventional crops [PDF]
Pollen-mediated gene flow is one of the main concerns associated with the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops, since growers of GM varieties normally do not take into account its possible impact on conventional and organic growers therefore ...

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) silage is a major energy source in ruminant diets and provides fermentable substrate for the rumen microbiota. In addition, forage maize contains benzoxazinoids (BXs), defence‐related secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity that remain detectable after ensiling.
