A novel fast‐screening photocatalytic reactor system (FaS‐PhoReS) using terrestrial sunlight is able to measure the in operando photodegradation of 32 samples at once, and does not suffer from the common problem of sample evaporation. Four photostable 12 dyes are used to investigate the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 and ZnO samples in both film ...

On the paradox of pesticides [PDF]
The paradox of pesticides was observed experimentally, which says that pesticides may dramatically increase the population of a pest when the pest has a natural predator. Here we use a mathematical model to study the paradox. We find that the timing for the application of pesticides is crucial for the resurgence or non-resurgence of the pests.

Modelling the inhibiting effect on a microbial pesticide model [PDF]
Microbial pesticides can avoid many of negative effects of traditional chemical pesticides. To modelling the inhibiting effect, in this paper we propose a model of entomopathogenic nematodes killing the target insects, and inhibiting the birth rate of the target insects simultaneously.

N 6 -methyl-adenosine level in Nicotiana tabacum is associated with tobacco mosaic virus
Background N 6 -methyl-adenosine (m6A) is a prevalent RNA modification in many species. Abnormal m6A methylation levels can lead to RNA dysfunction and can cause diseases. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is one of the most devastating viruses for agricultural

A smartphone application to measure the quality of pest control spraying machines via image analysis [PDF]
The need for higher agricultural productivity has demanded the intensive use of pesticides. However, their correct use depends on assessment methods that can accurately predict how well the pesticides' spraying covered the intended crop region. Some methods have been proposed in the literature, but their high cost and low portability harm their ...

Öffentliche Daten auf die nächste Stufe heben -- Vom RESTful Webservice für Pflanzenschutzmittelregistrierungsdaten zur anwendungsunabhängigen Ontologie (erweiterte Version) [PDF]
During the application of chemical pesticides, distance requirements have to be considered. However, these have to be determined and considered by the farmer manually. To support the farmer the Pesticide Application Manager (PAM)-Projects were conducted and a decision support system was developed.

Pesticides are unique environmental contaminants that are specifically introduced into the environment to control pests, often by killing them. Although pesticide application serves many important purposes, including protection against crop loss and against vector-borne diseases, there are significant concerns over the potential toxic effects of ...
