Evaluation of spray drift with an experimental ultrasonic sensor sprayer in a dwarf apple orchard [PDF]

, 2015
Dwarf apple trees are becoming more common in New Zealand due to their easier maintenance and more efficient production. However, this may increase the risk of spray drift if orchardists’ do not adjust spraying practices to match shorter dwarf varieties ...

Effect of Airflow Settings of an Orchard Sprayer with Two Individually Controlled Fans on Spray Deposition in Apple Trees and Off-Target Drift

Agriculture
Air-assisted sprayers are widely used in orchards to ensure deep canopy penetration and effective pesticide coverage, yet excessive or misdirected airflow often causes spray drift and ground losses. This study evaluated spray deposition efficiency, drift,

Short‐term agronomic consequences of industrial hemp incorporation into traditional corn–soybean rotations

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Kentucky producers have sought to add industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for grain, fiber, and/or floral material to their cropping systems since hemp's legalization in the 2018 Farm Bill. This study sought to quantify hemp's impact on ecosystem services provisioned by the traditional corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr ...

Metabolomics‐based study of the preservation mechanism of a tea saponin–cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion applied to Xinyu tangerines

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 14, Page 8467-8480, November 2026.
Abstract Background The Xinyu tangerine is a geographical indication agricultural product from Jiangxi province, China. During postharvest storage, nutrient loss and pathogen‐induced decay reduce fruit quality. The selection of appropriate preservatives is therefore important for maintaining postharvest quality.

Beyond Bactericidal: Plasma Surface Engineering to Defeat Food Matrix‐Conditioning Layers

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The persistence of foodborne pathogens on industrial food contact surfaces continues to challenge global food safety despite advances in sanitation technologies. A central limitation of current antimicrobial strategies lies in their validation under simplified laboratory conditions that overlook the physicochemically driven formation of food ...
