Advanced Science, EarlyView.To explore the impact of nanosizing on pesticide biointeractions, a 7‐nm (average) emamectin benzoate nanopesticide without nanocarriers or surfactants is fabricated via HOAc‐mediated disaggregation. Nanosizing enhances bioactivity against Megalurothrips usitatus and Meloidogyne enterolobii and improves plant penetration.

How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Pesticide MRLs as Trade Barriers: Evidence From Vietnam's Coffee and Rice Exporters
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As tariffs have declined globally through bilateral and regional trade agreements, food safety standards have emerged as significant determinants of agricultural trade flows. This study examines the impact of maximum residue limits (MRLs) for five pesticides—Azoxystrobin, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorantraniliprole, Clothianidin, and Cyhalothrin—on ...

Efficacy of plant protection substances against virus transmission by aphids infesting potato
Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2009 The behaviour of aphids on potato leaf-discs was analysed using time-lapse video-recording. In these experiments the behaviour of both apterous and alate Aphis frangulae and Aulacorthum solani were studied.
