Coffee berry borer triple-action integrated pest management [PDF]

, 2008
Coffee berry borer ( Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari) control is presented in the form of triple-action integrated pest management: meticulous agronomic control of the coffee plantation, strict branch stripping and trapping. Agronomic control includes coffee

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Diversity and horizontal gene transfer of mycoviruses in Exserohilum turcicum population from northern corn leaf blight of maize

Phytopathology Research
Northern corn leaf blight, caused by Exserohilum turcicum, severely affects maize yields globally. Some mycoviruses induce host hypovirulence in phytopathogenic fungi, offering the potential for fungal biocontrol.
