Can the outsourcing improve the technical efficiency of wheat production with fertilization and pesticide application? Evidence from China

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2023
Fertilizer and pesticide inputs (FPI) can provide the growth of wheat production while causing environmental pollution and agri-product quality decline. Agricultural production outsourcing has been introduced to solve the above-mentioned dilemmas. It is noteworthy whether agricultural production outsourcing can improve technical efficiency (TE) by ...

Working towards more efficient application of pesticides

Pest Management Science, 2000
The present status of Integrated Crop Management requires the judicious use of pesticides to optimise yields. However, considerable concern about the possible impact of pesticides on the environment and the need to minimise the dosage applied has led to a conflict between the requirements for efficient application and avoiding spray drift.

Chemigation Application Efficiency of Oil-based Pesticide

Transactions of the ASAE, 1995
Chemical application efficiency of foliar insecticides was evaluated during chemigation of field corn by a linear move irrigation machine. Chemical application efficiency, as defined for this study, included chemical discharge uniformity along a linear move system, chemical deposition uniformity with height on foliage, and the partition between ...

Application of electrospun composite nanofibers as an efficient sorbent for extraction of pesticides from food samples

Journal of Chromatography A, 2023
Herein, the composite of polylactic acid (PLA)/ Iron-based metal-organic framework (r-MIL-88A)/ Cellulose electrospun nanofibers was fabricated; and then, applied as a novel sorbent for thin-film micro-extraction (TFME) of four selected pesticides followed by GC-FID analysis.

An efficient thermostable organophosphate hydrolase and its application in pesticide decontamination

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2015
ABSTRACTIn vitro evolution of enzymes represents a powerful device to evolve new or to improve weak enzymatic functions. In the present work a semi‐rational engineering approach has been used to design an efficient and thermostable organophosphate hydrolase, starting from a lactonase scaffold (SsoPox from Sulfolobus solfataricus).

DEVELOPMENT OF A RECYCLING SPRAYER FOR EFFICIENT ORCHARD PESTICIDE APPLICATION

Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2001
Pesticide runoff and drift continue to be major problems in orchard spray applications. A new orchard sprayer, the RECUPAIR (Patent Pending), was designed to capture most of the droplets that do not deposit on target trees. The RECUPAIR was developed jointly by Agriculture and Agri–Food Canada HRDC and Universite Laval and a prototype was built for ...
