Desk study to apply knowledge developed for conventional horticulture to the control of pests in organic vegetables (OF0179) [PDF]

, 2002
This is the final report for Defra project OF0179. The demand for organic vegetable and salad crops is likely to increase as a result of the projected requirements of the multiple retailers. The threat of yield and quality reductions due to pest damage

Electronic Interaction at Cu–O–Ni Heterointerface Promotes Electrocatalytic Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia and Zinc‐Nitrate Battery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The strong Cu–O–Ni electronic interaction in the heterostructured catalyst can enhance the effective adsorption of NO3− and accelerate the in situ hydrolysis dissociation of the hydrogenation step. The Zn‐NO3 hybrid battery assembled with this catalyst achieves an open‐circuit voltage of 1.45 V, a peak power density of 6.47 mW cm−2, and can ...

Mutations of the complex I PSST target gene confers acaricide resistance and a fitness cost in Panonychus citri

BMC Biology
Background Pesticide resistance is a serious problem that threatens crop industries. Major resistance towards pyridaben, an acaricidal inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport complex I (METI-Is), has been reported in tetranychids following its ...

Organic Centre Wales Technical Note 3: Biology and Management of Soil pests [PDF]

, 2005
The majority of crops grown in the UK are host to single or multiple insect pests that feed on the growing plant at some stage of their life cycle. Insect pest is not strictly correct terminology because the pests come from a wide range of families or ...

Trace Alloying Unleashed: AuPt Nanoalloys Strategy Preserves Plasmonic Properties on Au Nanobipyramids While Boosting Electron Transfer for Visible Light Ammonia Synthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Au nanobipyramids (Au NBPs) with distinct Pt configurations—dense Pt layers (Au NBPs@Ptd), sparse Pt clusters (Au NBPs@Pts), and trace AuPt alloy (Au NBPs@Au/Ptalloy) were engineered. Au NBPs@Au/Ptalloy exhibited optimal performance in the photoelectrocatalytic nitrite‐to‐ammonia conversion.

Potato calcium sensor modules StCBL3-StCIPK7 and StCBL3-StCIPK24 negatively regulate plant immunity

BMC Plant Biology
Background Potato late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is the most devastating disease on potato. Dissecting critical immune components in potato will be supportive for engineering P. infestans resistance.

Sulfonated Cellulose Acetate Nanofibers Induced Zincophilic‐Hydrophobic Interface to Regulate Ion Transport for Long‐Lifespan Zinc‐Iodine Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sulfonated cellulose acetate (SCA) nanofiber membrane with zincophilic‐hydrophobic property is constructed on the surface of the Zn anode by the electrospinning technique to tune the 3D deposition behavior of Zn2+ by chemisorption and micro‐sized physical structure. The negatively‐charged groups of SCA nanofiber membrane form an electrostatic repulsion
