Effects of sprayer path and insecticide application parameters on the control of Diaphorina citri in non-bearing citrus orchards [PDF]

Scientia Agricola
Controlling the Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, Hemiptera: Liviidae) with insecticides is crucial, as it is the vector for the destructive citrus disease Huanglongbing (HLB).

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...

Optimal efficacy of the essential nozzle characteristics and insecticide type for controlling cabbage aphid

Journal of Crop Protection, 2021
The previous works have addressed selecting the nozzle to minimize the hazard of pesticide drift by producing large spray droplet sizes. However, this spray application with the largest sizes does not effectively impact insects either, as it needs many ...

Adsorption‐Engineered Hydrocarbon Ionomers for Durable Proton‐Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrocarbon ionomers suffer from oxidation‐driven interfacial degradation in PEM fuel cell cathodes, leading to catalyst instability. Here, adsorption‐engineered poly(fluorene) ionomers decouple interfacial anchoring from oxidative degradation, enabling strong catalyst–ionomer interactions while resisting electrochemical oxidation.
