Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

Enabling High‐Voltage Polymer‐Based Solid‐State Batteries Through Reinforcements with LiAlO2 Fillers

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐ceramic solid composite electrolytes with passive LiAlO2 fillers show remarkable improvements in Li‐ion conductivity in polycarbonates as compared to both non‐conductive Al2O3 and conductive Li7La3Zr2O12 counterparts. The exceptionally high transference numbers contribute to reversible and stable electrochemistry with Li‐metal electrodes and to

The Effects of Partial Crop Harvest on Biological Pest Control [PDF]

arXiv, 2007
In this paper, the effects of periodic partial harvesting of a continuously grown crop on augmentative biological control are analyzed. Partial harvesting can remove a proportion of both pests and biological control agents, so its influence on the control efficiency cannot be a priori neglected.

Are agrochemical‐free and biodiversity‐friendly attributes substitutes or complements? Evidence from a coffee choice experiment

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Eco‐labels inform consumers about the sustainable attributes of a product, but consumer face challenges to differentiate and select for specific attributes. Certification programs are similarly challenged to incentivize adoption of sustainable practices in product supply chains when consumer ability to differentiate sustainable attributes is ...

Manipulation of Chemistry and Biology with Visible Light Using Tetra‐ortho‐Substituted Azobenzenes and Azonium Ions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Tetra‐ortho‐Azobenzenes (TOABs) in broad daylight: in recent years, TOAB photoswitches became indispensable tools for all‐visible‐light manipulation of chemistry, biology and materials. This review explores their unique photochemical properties, design and synthetic approaches, offering support in choosing a TOAB for a given application.

Biological control of the chestnut gall wasp with \emph{T. sinensis}: a mathematical model [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The Asian chestnut gall wasp \emph{Dryocosmus kuriphilus}, native of China, has become a pest when it appeared in Japan, Korea, and the United States. In Europe it was first found in Italy, in 2002. In 1982 the host-specific parasitoid \emph{Torymus sinensis} was introduced in Japan, in an attempt to achieve a biological control of the pest.

Biological Control Agents for Control of Pests in Greenhouses

, 2020
First we describe the different types of biocontrol used in greenhouses and present examples of each type. Next we summarize the history of greenhouse biocontrol, which started in 1926, showed a problematic period when synthetic chemical pesticides became available after 1945, and flourished again since the 1970s.

Association of zein nanoparticles with botanical compounds for effective pest control systems.

Pest Management Science, 2019
BACKGROUND Botanical compounds from plant species are known to have pesticidal activity and have been used in integrated pest management programs. The varied spectrum of the pesticidal action of these compounds can also avoid selection of resistance in ...

Can outsourcing pest and disease control help reduce pesticide expenditure? Evidence from rice farmers

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Outsourcing pest and disease control (PDC) has grown rapidly worldwide, especially in developing countries. Although numerous studies have investigated various advantages of outsourcing PDC, little is known about its impact on pesticide expenditure.
