Automatic measurement of coverage area of water-based pesticides-surfactant formulation on plant leaves using deep learning tools [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
A method to efficiently and quantitatively study the delivery of a pesticide-surfactant formulation in water solution over plants leaves is presented. Instead of measuring the contact angle, the surface of the leaves wet area is used as key parameter. To this goal, a deep learning model has been trained and tested, to automatically measure the surface ...

HARMLESS Early Warning System for Advanced Materials

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The HARMLESS Early Warning System tackles Advanced Materials (AdMa) risk governance by providing a framework, organised in two tiers, underpinned with methods/tools to support risk assessors in the pre‐assessment preceding risk assessment. It allows for initial screening to identify AdMa with concerns considering exposure, hazards, sustainability and ...

Lethal and sublethal synergistic effects of a new systemic pesticide, flupyradifurone (Sivanto®), on honeybees

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019
The honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) is an important pollinator and a model for pesticide effects on insect pollinators. The effects of agricultural pesticides on honeybee health have therefore raised concern.
