ADDITIVE VERSUS PROPORTIONAL PEST DAMAGE FUNCTIONS: WHY ECOLOGY MATTERS [PDF]

open access: yes
Economic analyses of pests typically assume damage is either additively separable from pest free yield or proportional to it. This paper describes the ecological assumptions required for additive and proportional damage functions to demonstrate that both

Using weeds to reduce pest insect numbers in organic vegetable crops - a desk study (OF0329) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
At present, weeds and pest insects are two of the major constraints to the production of high quality organic vegetable crops, primarily because the range of control measures available to UK growers is extremely limited.

TCMD: A High‐Throughput and Rapid Method for Screening Antimicrobial Ingredients from Renewable Bio‐Based Resources

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a strategy to screen the active compounds from bio‐mixtures via combining transcriptomic profiling and molecular docking. The proposed method demonstrates 100% correction in three different biobased mixtures and is 3–20 times faster than traditional approaches.

Surface Engineering‐Induced d‐Band Center Down‐Regulation in High‐Entropy Alloy Nanowires for Enhanced Nanozyme Catalysis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
PtRuFeCoNi HEA NWs are synthesized by adjusting the metal composition and surface‐engineered with PDA to create HEA NWs@PDA nanozymes with superior catalytic activities and photothermal properties. DFT calculations confirm that self‐polymerized PDA surface engineering moderately lowers the d‐band center of the HEAs, optimizes the surface charge ...

The effect of within-crop habitat manipulations on the conservation biological control of aphids in field-grown lettuce [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Within-crop habitat manipulations have the potential to increase the biological control of pests in horticultural field crops. Wildflower strips have been shown to increase the abundance of natural enemies, but there is little evidence to date of an ...

Blockchain‐Empowered H‐CPS Architecture for Smart Agriculture

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This article reviews the current system architectures for smart agriculture and proposes a blockchain‐empowered hierarchical cyber‐physical system (H‐CPS) framework. It discusses the challenges and outlines future research directions, including the use of semantic blockchain to handle complex data and models.
