Evolving community structure in the international pesticide trade networks [PDF]
Heliyon 9(11), e21076 (2023), 2022 The statistical properties including community structure of the international trade networks of all commodities as a whole have been studied extensively. However, the international trade networks of individual commodities often behave differently. Due to the importance of pesticides in agricultural production and food security, we investigate the ...

Effects of herbicides on growth and number of actinomycetes in soil and in vitro [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2016 This study was conducted under laboratory conditions to investigate the effects of herbicides (nicosulfuron, metribuzin and glyphosate) on the number of actinomycetes in soil and growth of several isolates of actinomycetes in vitro.

Economy importance and structural robustness of the international pesticide trade networks [PDF]
Journal of Management Science and Engineering 8 (4), 512-528
(2023), 2023 Pesticides are a kind of agricultural input, whose use can greatly reduce yield loss, regulate plant growth, effectively liberate agricultural productivity, and improve food security. The availability of pesticides in economies all over the world is ensured by pesticide redistribution through international trade and economies play different roles in ...

Antioxidant activity of Juglans regia L. and Rumex obtusifolius L. leaf extracts and screening for their allelopathic potential [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2022 Secondary plant metabolites with allelopathic activity or phytotoxicity could be biotechnologically important, serving as a source of allelochemicals, and thus contributing to the agro-industrial sector.

Antimicrobial activity of biochemical substances against pathogens of cultivated mushrooms in Serbia [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2016 Disease control with few or no chemicals is a major challenge for mushroom growers in the 21st century. An alarming incidence of resistance to antibiotics in bacteria, and to fungicides among mycopathogenic fungi requires effective alternatives. Previous

Dynamics of a Double-Impulsive Control Model of Integrated Pest Management Using Perturbation Methods and Floquet Theory [PDF]
Axioms 12 (2023), no. 4, Art. 391, 14 pp, 2023 We formulate an integrated pest management model to control natural pests of the crop through the periodic application of biopesticide and chemical pesticides. In a theoretical analysis of the system pest eradication, a periodic solution is found and established. All the system variables are proved to be bounded.

Controlling crop pest with a farming awareness based integrated approach and optimal control [PDF]
Comput. Math. Methods 3 (2021), no. 6, Paper e1194, 1--24, 2021 We investigate a mathematical model in crop pest controlling, considering plant biomass, pest, and the effect of farming awareness. The pest population is divided into two compartments: susceptible pests and infected pests. We assume that the growth rate of self-aware people is proportional to the density of susceptible pests existing in the crop arena.

Reliable LC-MS/MS-based method for trace level determination of 50 medium to highly polar pesticide residues in sediments and ecological risk assessment [PDF]
Anal Bioanal Chem. 2019 Dec;411(30):7981-7996, 2020 The occurrence of polar pesticides in sediments has not been extensively investigated because of their relatively poor hydrophobicity and apparently less persistence in the environment. However, their continuous release into the aquatic systems calls for the evaluation of their potential accumulation in sediments and the role of this matrix as a ...
