Green Oil-in-Water Nanoemulsions for Delivery of Phytochemicals With Pesticidal Activity for Sustainable Food Production and Safety. [PDF]

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf
ABSTRACT Green oil‐in‐water (O/W) nanoemulsions incorporating essential oils (EOs) and food‐derived compounds are gaining prominence as biopesticidal platforms that address the growing demand for sustainable agriculture, food safety, and reduced chemical inputs.

Identifying the origin of soil water repellency at regional level using multiple soil characteristics: The White Carpathians and Myjavska pahorkatina Upland case study

Soil and Water Research, 2015
This paper evaluates the relationship between water repellency and multiple characteristics of topsoil samples belonging to seven Reference Soil Groups, taken from the area of the White Carpathians and the Myjavska pahorkatina Upland.

Physics of water repellent soils [PDF]

Journal of Hydrology, 2000
Abstract Although it is generally well known that water repellent soils have distinct preferential flow patterns, the physics of this phenomenon is not well understood. In this paper, we show that water repellency affects the soil water contact angle and this, in turn, has a distinct effect on the constitutive relationships during imbibing.

Impact of basidiomycete fungi on the wettability of soil contaminated with a hydrophobic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon [PDF]

, 2006
Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present a challenge to bioremediation because they are hydrophobic, thus influencing the water availability and repellency of soil.

Modelling of water droplet dynamics on hydrophobic soils: a review [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The hydrophobicity of soils (or soil water repellency) can be naturally promoted by wildfires or synthetically induced by hydrophobic compounds (polydimethylsiloxane, tong oil, etc.). Soil phenomena can be related to hydrophobicity, such as soil erosion (

Hydrologic behavior of model slopes with synthetic water repellent soils [PDF]

, 2017
In the natural environment, soil water repellency decreases infiltration, increases runoff, and increases erosion in slopes. In the built environment, soil water repellency offers the opportunity to develop granular materials with controllable ...

Use of Clay Dispersed in Water for Decreasing Soil Water Repellency [PDF]

, 2017
In this study, we examined the efficiency of a kaolinite clayey soil to mitigate water repellency of a sandy soil with olive trees. The treatment was applied to the soil zone below the tree canopy, which displayed the highest degree of water repellency ...

Variability of water repellency in sandy forest soils under broadleaves and conifers in north-western Jutland/Denmark

Soil and Water Research, 2008
Soil water repellency has important consequences for ecological and hydrological properties of soils and usually retards infiltration capacity and induces preferential flow. This phenomenon has been known to occur on a wide range of sites under a variety

Effect of Particle Size on Droplet Infiltration into Hydrophobic Porous Media As a Model of Water Repellent Soil [PDF]

, 2011
The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota, and in determining the risk for preferential flow, surface runoff, flooding,and soil erosion. The molarity of ethanol droplet (MED) test is widely used for quantifying the severity
