Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active

Population fluctuation and pest control: studies with irrigated rice pests

, 2019
Resumo – Os estudos de flutuação populacional são muito importantes para o controle de pragas, pois fornecem informações fundamentais sobre quando e em que intensidade determinado organismo nocivo pode surgir nas lavouras, propiciando, assim, uma maior exatidão na aplicação de medidas de controle.

Reconstructing Old Chinese *‐ts Using Han‐Time Material

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Baxter & Sagart (2014b) reconstruct *‐Vt‐s on the basis of Middle Chinese reflexes in ‐jH (from some OC *‐s) coupled with either etymological or graphic connections to words in Middle Chinese ‐t. This approach, while perfectly sound, can suffer from lack of etymological or graphic data, leading to missed reconstructions. Since Old Chinese *‐ts

Promoting Methane Reductions Through Behavioural Nudges and Informational Boosts: A Field Choice Experiment in Japanese Rice Farming

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural methane emissions represent a significant contributor to global climate change, with irrigated rice cultivation being one of the primary sources. Despite the availability of effective mitigation technologies, their adoption often remains limited due to behavioural and institutional constraints.

Reallocation Effects of Internalizing Externalities: Evidence From China's Straw Burning Ban

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the reallocation effects of a typical environmental policy aiming to internalize externalities: the straw burning ban across China. The ban prohibited the traditional farming practice of burning straw while compelling the labour‐intensive practice of straw utilization.
