Water Retention Techniques under Crop’s Root Zone a Tool to Enhance Water Use Efficiency and Economic Water Productivity for Zucchini

Journal of Engineering, 2019
A new technique in cultivation by installing membrane sheet below the crop’s root zone was helped to save irrigation water in the root zone, less farm losses, increasing the field water use efficiency and water productivity.

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Overcoming environmental constraints to high‐yielding eastern cottonwood productivity in the southeastern United States

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
The rising demand for biomass highlights Populus deltoides as a productive woody species. A 6‐year study in Sumter County, SC, assessed the effects of irrigation, fertilization, and clonal variation on growth and productivity. Eight clones were studied under two irrigation levels (33 and 1500 kPa) and nutrient rates (high: up to 182 kg N ha−1; low: 50%

Between the Indian Ocean and the Gulf: Ceramics From Ḥattā Oasis in the Emirate of Dubai

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the ceramic finds from archaeological investigations conducted in 2024 at two settlements: ‘Islamic Village' and Suhaila 2, one of a number of mountain villages of the Late Islamic period within the Ḥattā Oasis: a high‐altitude exclave in the Emirate of Dubai. The sites are located on the northeastern slopes of Jabal Qallāt

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Modeling Assessment of Aquifer Contamination by Sulfate and Uranium in the Upper Arkansas River Corridor in Kansas

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwater in the upper Arkansas River corridor has been contaminated by elevated concentrations of dissolved solids in Arkansas River water. Most of the dissolved solids originate from the soils and bedrock in eastern Colorado, where river water is diverted for irrigation and storage systems, and evapotranspiration significantly increases ...

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Embedded Pesticide Use: Exploring the Pesticide‐Land Nexus

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since the turn of the century, global land grabs, farmland financialization and land‐based food sovereignty movements have returned the land question to the heart of agrarian studies. Meanwhile, abiding interest in pesticides has been reanimated in the face of changes in production, regulation and knowledge of toxicity.
