Global production, consumption and emission of various chemicals continue to rise, despite growing evidence their harmful effects on environmental quality, food safety human health. Agronomy, a nature-dependent industry, is considered be extremely sensitive chemical pollution. Hence, it great importance for health study the migration biotransformation pollutants among agricultural elements, suc...

Background: The vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae (Blanchard) is a serious pest of and ornamental crops in the whole Vietnam. Previous studies indicate that biology leafminers depends on host plant. objective this study was to understand performance L. kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) pak choi (Brassica rapa var. chinensis).

Abstract Creating and maintaining pollinator habitats following the ecological infrastructure concept in degraded or unutilized land, such as solar energy facilities, is a practical way to synergistically advance food, energy, ecology nexus. Given large land-use requirements for farming—the fastest growing renewable technology–considerable attention has been focused on strategies maximize multi...

This paper presents SMAC Advisor, a decision-support tool for the assessment of coexistence between genetically modified and conventional maize. The assessment is based on a qualitative multi-attribute DEXi model. This model was developed from two sources: (1) extensive simulations of gene flow due to cross-pollination, obtained by a simulator called MAPOD®, and (2) rules provided by experts in...

Nature-based solutions, principally diverse systems, are increasingly being promoted as the solution to future food production they perceived be more productive, resilient and ecologically based. This ‘paradigm of in-field diversity’ approach is inciting a growing perception that monocultures, source most global production, dysfunctional highly vulnerable diseases pests. Our perspective paper c...
