Pest, pathogen, and weed control for increased food production.
If the ideal of assured "Food for All" is to be attained, it will be necessary to do a better job of preventing the debilitation or destruction of crop plants by noxious weeds, voracious animals, and devastating plant diseases. For these destructive agents continually tend to nullify the constructive efforts to increase food production. Food production per unit area of land has been increased g...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of a Microwave Weed Killer Device for Weed Control Applications
In this paper, the design and the results of a microwave radiation system for agriculture applications is discussed. The system is fabricated and successfully tested on weed seeds. The device, which uses a commercial 1 kW magentron, proved to be effective for preventing the germination control of popular weeds of Iran. Seven weed species were tested separately by using this system and then the ...
متن کاملActive Adaptive Management in Insect Pest and Weed Control: Intervention with a Plan for Learning
A major problem in insect pest and weed management is uncertainty. Managers are faced with three main types of uncertainty: uncertainty about biological and environmental processes, and observational uncertainty. Active adaptive management (AAM) is management with a deliberate plan for learning about the managed system, so that management can be improved in the face of uncertainty. We discuss t...
متن کاملPEST STATUS OF WEED Nature of Damage
Kudzu (Puerarza montana [Lour.] Merr. var. lobata p i l l d. ] Maesen and Almeida) was originally introduced into the United States as an ornamental vine at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876. David Fairchild observed extensive use of kudzu as pasturage in Japan. I n 1902, he planted seedlings around his Washington, D.C. home to explore their in the United States. By 1938, he became...
متن کاملOptimal Control of Integrodifference Equations in a Pest-pathogen System
We develop the theory of optimal control for a system of integrodifference equations modelling a pest-pathogen system. Integrodifference equations incorporate continuous space into a system of discrete time equations. We design an objective functional to minimize the damaged cost generated by an invasive species and the cost of controlling the population with a pathogen. Existence, characteriza...
