Mezquital Valley (MV), a Mexican wastewaterbased agricultural and industrial region, is a “hot spot” of regulated air pollutants emissions, but the concurrent unregulated ones, like hazardous metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), remain undocumented. A biomonitoring survey with the epiphytic Tillandsia recurvata was conducted there to detect spatial patterns and potential sources o...

The study provides an assessment of the state and prospects sustainable agriculture in a large industrial region, which is Sverdlovsk as basis for its development new economic realities generated by global pandemic 2020 associated with threats COVID-19. hypothesis assumption that region conditions provided accumulated potential coronacrisis contradictions trigger. purpose comprehensive real lev...

Facial eczema is the most Important mycotoxin affecting New Zealand lIvestock. I t is a partrcular problem in the lower lying warmer and morster areas of the northern North Island where conditions are favourable to rapid fungal growth and sporulat ion during autumn. In severe years animal deaths and depressed production can lead to losses exceeding $60mlllion, average losses are estimated to ex...

Triazole fungicides are used broadly for the control of infectious diseases of both humans and plants. The surge in resistance to triazoles among pathogenic populations is an emergent issue both in agriculture and medicine. The non-rational use of fungicides with site-specific modes of action, such as the triazoles, may increase the risk of antifungal resistance development. In the medical fiel...

Agricultural industry uses pesticides to optimize food production for the growing human population. A major issue for crops is fungal phytopathogens, which are treated mainly with azole fungicides. Azoles are also the main medical treatment in the management of Aspergillus diseases caused by ubiquitous fungi, such as Aspergillus fumigatus. However, epidemiological research demonstrated an incre...

Designing an ecologically responsible EcoCity of 550,000 people begins by confining it to 8500 ha, which spares surrounding land for farming and for Nature. Because an American diet requires 126,000 ha and even a survival diet needs more cropland than can be found inside its boundaries, EcoCity will cast shadows of farming outside its limits. EcoCitizens will cast wider shadows if farmers grow ...

This paper is the third in a series designed to demonstrate the application of rigorous, systematic hazard identification techniques to ecological systems. Here we use Hierarchical Holographic Modelling to identify the potential ecological hazards associated with the commercial release of herbicide tolerant oilseed rape. Hierarchical Holographic Models decompose complex systems into a series of...

nowadays, with population growth in urban areas, providing safe water and health is considered basic needs of human, alongside the various pollutants due to urban activities, agriculture and industrial areas on adjacent ranges into urban water resources around the environment is such that study necessary to prevent the pollution of water resources and identification of pollution sources shows. ...

Modern industrialized agriculture is based on monocultures of annual crops requiring massive levels of biocide, fertilizer, and fossil fuel inputs. This form ofagriculture has led to soil erosion and chemical contamination ofsoil and ground water. The Land Institute is studying a new modelfor grain agriculture, based on the prairie ecosystem, involving diversified plantings ofperennial seed cro...
