Flowering phenology and synchrony between volunteer and cropped spring wheat: Implications for pollen-mediated gene flow
Genetically engineered (GE) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) volunteers could present a problem in cultivated wheat because they may facilitate movement of a GE trait to other volunteers or non-GE wheat crops. However, volunteers can emerge periodically throughout the growing season and, thus, flowering overlap with the crop may be largely asynchronous, presenting a significant barrier to gene flow. ...

Thiamethoxam: Assessing flight activity of honeybees foraging on treated oilseed rape using RFID technology
This study was designed to assess homing behaviour of bees foraging on winter oilseed rape grown from seed treated with thiamethoxam (as Cruiser OSR) with one field drilled with thiamethoxam treated seed and two control fields drilled with fungicide‐only treated seed. Twelve honeybee colonies were used per treatment group, 4 each located at the field edge (on‐field site), at approximately 500m ...

Sustainability of Current Agricultural Practices in The Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
Cameron Highlands is a mountainous region with steep slopes. Gradients exceeding 20◦ are common. The climate is favourable to the cultivation of tea, sub-tropical vegetables and flowers (under rain-shelter). Crop production is sustained by high fertiliser and manure applications. However, agriculture in this environment is characterised by high levels of soil erosion and environmental ...
