Advanced Science, EarlyView.The transcription factor MoSR governs DMI fungicide sensitivity in Magnaporthe oryzae through dual regulation of ergosterol biosynthesis and the detoxification enzyme MoDde1. Targeting MoDde1 via a small‐molecule inhibitor or host‐induced gene silencing enhances DMI efficacy against rice blast, offering a sustainable disease management strategy ...

The G119S ace‐1 mutation confers adaptive organophosphate resistance in a nontarget amphipod
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Organophosphate (OP) and carbamate (CM) insecticides are widely used in the United States and share the same mode of toxic action. Both classes are frequently documented in aquatic ecosystems, sometimes at levels that exceed aquatic life benchmarks.

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Water Quality and the Effectiveness of Pesticides
EDIS, 2013 Pesticide applicators do not usually blame the mix for a pest control failure. Rather, the applicator will check if the correct pesticide was chosen for the job, if the pest was misidentified, if application equipment was properly calibrated, or if there

Making sense of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the light of evolution
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a holistic approach to combat pests (including herbivores, pathogens, and weeds) using a combination of preventive and curative actions, and only applying synthetic pesticides when there is an urgent need.

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Assessing Government Subsidies for Reducing Pesticide Use: A Meta‐Analysis
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the efforts being made by governments to reduce pesticide use, subsidies are an important instrument to encourage farmers to adopt more sustainable practices. Yet, their effectiveness remains uncertain due to diverse designs and contexts.

Bt Corn and Insect Resistance: An Economic Assessment of Refuges
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2001 Genetically engineered crops offer farmers a new option for controlling pests. The high efficacy of these pesticidal crops, combined with the potential for widespread adoption, has raised concerns that pest resistance may prematurely diminish their value.
