A Dieldrin Case Study: Another Evidence of an Obsolete Substance in the European Soil Environment
Agriculture, 2021 Soil constitutes a central environmental compartment that, due to natural and anthropogenic activities, is a recipient of several contaminants. Among them, organochlorine pesticides are of major concern, even though they have been banned decades ago in ...

On the Real-Time Semantic Segmentation of Aphid Clusters in the Wild [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Aphid infestations can cause extensive damage to wheat and sorghum fields and spread plant viruses, resulting in significant yield losses in agriculture. To address this issue, farmers often rely on chemical pesticides, which are inefficiently applied over large areas of fields. As a result, a considerable amount of pesticide is wasted on areas without

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A novel fast‐screening photocatalytic reactor system (FaS‐PhoReS) using terrestrial sunlight is able to measure the in operando photodegradation of 32 samples at once, and does not suffer from the common problem of sample evaporation. Four photostable 12 dyes are used to investigate the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 and ZnO samples in both film ...

On the paradox of pesticides [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The paradox of pesticides was observed experimentally, which says that pesticides may dramatically increase the population of a pest when the pest has a natural predator. Here we use a mathematical model to study the paradox. We find that the timing for the application of pesticides is crucial for the resurgence or non-resurgence of the pests.

Modelling the inhibiting effect on a microbial pesticide model [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Microbial pesticides can avoid many of negative effects of traditional chemical pesticides. To modelling the inhibiting effect, in this paper we propose a model of entomopathogenic nematodes killing the target insects, and inhibiting the birth rate of the target insects simultaneously.

Monitoring of bacterial diseases of Agaricus bisporus in Serbia [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2016 Monitoring of button mushroom bacterial diseases was conducted to estimate the presence and identity of mycopathogenic bacteria and to determine the predominant bacterial pathogen in Serbia. Samples were collected from mushroom farms during 20062010 and

A smartphone application to measure the quality of pest control spraying machines via image analysis [PDF]
, 2017 The need for higher agricultural productivity has demanded the intensive use of pesticides. However, their correct use depends on assessment methods that can accurately predict how well the pesticides' spraying covered the intended crop region. Some methods have been proposed in the literature, but their high cost and low portability harm their ...
