Persistent disruption of interspecific competition after ultra-low esfenvalerate exposure [PDF]
, 2023 Field and mesocosm studies repeatedly show that higher tier process reduce the predictive accuracy of toxicity evaluation and consequently their value for pesticide risk assessment. Therefore, understanding the influence of ecological complexity on toxicant effects is crucial to improve realism of aquatic risk assessment.

DropLeaf: a precision farming smartphone application for measuring pesticide spraying methods [PDF]
, 2020 Pesticide application has been heavily used in the cultivation of major crops, contributing to the increase of crop production over the past decades. However, their appropriate use and calibration of machines rely upon evaluation methodologies that can precisely estimate how well the pesticides' spraying covered the crops.
