Influence of biotic-abiotic factors on the degradation of novaluron in tropical soil
In this study, the degradation of novaluron (benzoylphenyl urea insect growth regulator) was investigated under controlled laboratory conditions in clay loam alluvial and coastal saline soils of West Bengal, India. The application rates were field rate (FR); 2FR and 10FR. The incubation study was carried out at 30 °C and 60% of maximum water holding capacity of both the soils. Degradation of ...

Biopesticide‐induced behavioral and morphological alterations in the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata
Due to their natural origin, biopesticides are assumed to be less harmful to beneficial insects, including bees, and therefore their use has been widely encouraged for crop protection. However, there is little evidence to support this ingrained notion of the biopesticide safety to pollinators. As larval exposure is still largely unexplored in ecotoxicology and risk assessment on bees, we ...

Is the chronic Tier‐1 effect assessment approach for insecticides protective for aquatic ecosystems?
We investigated the appropriateness of several methods, including those recommended in the Aquatic Guidance Document of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), for the derivation of chronic Tier‐1 Regulatory Acceptable Concentrations (RACs) for insecticides and aquatic organisms. The insecticides represented different chemical classes (organophosphates, pyrethroids, benzoylureas, insect ...

Evaluating exposure and potential effects on honeybee brood (Apis mellifera) development using glyphosate as an example
This study aimed to develop an approach to evaluate potential effects of plant protection products on honeybee brood with colonies at realistic worst‐case exposure rates. The approach comprised two stages. In the first stage, honeybee colonies were exposed to a commercial formulation of glyphosate applied to flowering Phacelia tanacetifolia with glyphosate residues quantified in relevant ...

Hermet Protein for Poultry - Case Study
We formulated a chicken feed diet with Hermet Protein for Poultry as added inclusion to observe if our diet improves the health, growth, and mortality of the chicks. Our preliminary observations reported chicks loving the insect-included diet, with steady growth rates, lower mortality rate as well as better appearance of feathers. Using Hermet Protein for Poultry also allows a reduction of ...

Production status of bio organic fertilizer
The fertilizer produced by bio organic fertilizer equipment can improve soil ecological environment and change soil microbial flora, and play a more important role in reducing crop diseases and insect pests. In the process of microbial growth and reproduction, it can secrete a variety of antibiotics and plant growth and elements. It can not only inhibit the activities of plant pathogenic ...

Main Applications of Truck Mounted ULV Fogger
A fogger is a machine which distributes chemicals such as insecticide or disinfectant into an area by means of a fine spray for killing insects and other arthropods. They are often used by consumers as a low-cost alternative to professional pest control services. The number of fogger needed for pest control depends on the size of the space needed to treat. There are different types of machines ...

The problems of barn swallows
When you think of troublesome pests, you probably picture rodents, bugs, and a variety of different, pesky birds. But in the past few years, one pest has succeeded in becoming a concern for both pest control companies and conservationists: barn swallows. Why Are Swallows Such a Big Problem? Swallows, also called barn swallows, are tiny birds that can be found in nearly every area of the world, ...
