An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Effect of pesticide exposure on stunting incidence: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics
As an endocrine disruptor chemical, pesticide exposure may affect the regulation of growth hormones such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). A few current studies to date have noted that long-term pesticide exposure disrupted IGF-1, a potential risk

How effective are entomopathogenic nematodes for vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) biological control? A meta‐analysis

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

Evolving resistance patterns in Tetranychus urticae and Bemisia tabaci in Greece

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Greek populations of T. urticae and B. tabaci exhibit evolving multi‐resistance, confirmed by bioassays and molecular markers, highlighting the urgent need for evidence‐based resistance monitoring in IPM. Abstract BACKGROUND Pesticide resistance in agricultural pests remains a major barrier to effective and sustainable crop protection.

Biological activity and persistence of pirimiphos-methyl applied to maize grain at different temperatures Eficácia biológica e persistência do pirimifós-metil aplicados sobre grãos de milho em diferentes temperaturas

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2009
The expansion of dryeration may impose a further problem for insect control with protectants - the high grain temperatures during insecticide spraying. To assess the impact of this procedure on insecticide activity, maize grains at different temperatures

Temporal Trends in Exposure to Organophosphate Flame Retardants in the United States

Environmental Science and Technology Letters, 2017
During the past decade, use of organophosphate compounds as flame retardants and plasticizers has increased. Numerous studies investigating biomarkers (i.e., urinary metabolites) demonstrate ubiquitous human exposure and suggest that human exposure may ...
