Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Resistive Leaf Wetness Sensors for Pesticide Spray Deposition

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2026.
A laser‐induced graphene leaf wetness sensor is fabricated by CO2 laser‐patterning interdigitated electrodes on flexible polyimide and adding silver‐paste contacts through a shadow mask. Calibration with multiple pesticide formulations and tap water shows decreasing resistance with increasing deposited volume, while spray tests demonstrate close ...

Supporting pollinators, resisting policy: The role of environmental attitudes and psychological reactance among farmers

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3569-3584, October 2026.
Abstract Understanding how psychological constructs shape farmers' views on agri‐environmental policy and the role of pollinators in agriculture can help design effective and legitimate agricultural policies. While farmers are key actors in pollinator conservation, recent farmer protests indicate that their support for agri‐environmental policies such ...

Cumulative and Legacy Effects of Irrigation on Growth, Physiology, and Gene Expression in Veronica longifolia Under Field Conditions

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of fluctuating moisture regimes on the Korean Peninsula, yet plant responses to moderate field moisture variation remain poorly understood. We investigated the effects of irrigation on growth, physiology, and gene expression of the native perennial plant Veronica longifolia under field ...
