Risk management externalities in agrifood supply chains

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Firms may under‐ or over‐invest in risk management from the social planner's perspective, resulting in a negative externality on other economic agents in the supply chain. The externality of risk management is particularly relevant for agrifood supply chains, which frequently experience disruptions and play a primary role in preventing major ...

Firm turnover under asymmetric information: Tanzania's agro‐dealer sector

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We study firm turnover (i.e., entry and exit) and its consumer implications in a market characterized by asymmetric information. Using a three‐round census of agro‐dealers in Tanzania's Morogoro Region, we document annual firm entry and exit rates of 33% and 17%, respectively.

Reproductive stages in lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) occur earlier with increasing temperature

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Comparison of the Efficiency of Simultaneous Application of UV/O3 for the Removal of Organophosphorus and Carbamat Pesticides in Aqueous Solutions

آب و فاضلاب, 2010
A vast variety of pesticides are used for agricultural pests in Iran. The release of these persistent organic pollutants. into water supplies leaves adverse effects on both the environment and public health. Advanced oxidation processes have been used recently for pesticide removal. In this research, the combined UV/O3 process has been investigated for

Performance Assessment and Lab‐Scale Economic Evaluation of Alkaline Extraction and Comparative Precipitation of Cyanobacterial Proteins

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Algal proteins from cyanobacteria serve as a natural source of biopolymers. The principal challenge manifests as nonoptimization of unit operations in downstream process accounting for higher costs. This study focuses on process assessment of unit‐operations for selecting suitable recovery strategies not only based on yield, but also considers

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.
