β‐Cyclodextrin/eucalyptol inclusion complex for improved postharvest date moth control

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Powder or pellets of CD/eucalyptol solid inclusion complex immersed in water showed promising efficacy in controlling fifth instar larvae of Ectomyelois ceratoniae. Therefore, this strategy should be considered for the development of non‐toxic natural pesticides.

Effects of extreme heat events on crop revenues for U.S. corn and soybeans

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Extreme weather events have nuanced implications for crop producers. While they can reduce local yields, widespread production losses often drive price increases. This study presents a panel approach that accounts for the price–yield correlation to assess the impact of such events on crop revenues, focusing on U.S. corn and soybeans.

A roadmap to sustainable management of commercial medicinal and aromatic plants, fungi, and lichens in Nepal

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Thousands of plants, fungi, and lichen species are traded every year. Although sustainable use is critical for livelihoods and biodiversity conservation, insufficient data prevent detailed sustainability assessments for most species. How can the sustainability of trade in such data‐deficient species be enhanced?
