Traditional transgenic detection methods require high test conditions and struggle to be both sensitive and efficient. In this study, a one-tube dual recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) reaction system for CP4-EPSPS and Cry1Ab/Ac was proposed and combined with a lateral flow...

Pesticides have been the most often used substance in recent decades to protect agricultural goods from pests affecting farmers, especially in conventional agriculture. Pesticides are effective in preventing and removing pests. On the other hand, pesticides risk human health since they may be found ...

In a context of growing demand for food and the scarcity of natural resources, the development of more sustainable agriculture is imperative. This means it is necessary to limit the environmental impact of agricultural activities on soil and water and to be mindful of the carbon footprint, while...

Studies of food waste claim that its main causes are technological and logistical deficiencies in the first stages of the agri-food chain. The present article discusses this statement using a specific case as a starting point: the production of fruit in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain). Since the 1980s,...

Crop yield prediction (CYP) is a critical challenge for decision-makers of any kind of levels, including regional and national decision-making. Farmers might use effective CYP model to help them determine what to cultivate or when to grow it. The primary aim of precision agriculture (PA) is to...

Understanding the mechanisms of deforestation is necessary in order to slow or arrest its progress. To accomplish this requires rigorously estimating the demand for deforestation. We contribute to this endeavor by estimating the effect of crop prices on the demand for conversion of land from forest ...

This bulletin provides information regarding the efficacy and recommended applications of various fungicides and bactericides, insecticides and acaricides, growth regulators, rodenticides, and herbicides for fruit cultivation in 2023. It also includes details about their potential side effects.

The aim of this article is to find, scientifically define, and locate the most frequent occurrences of the gardens of Transylvania in the Late Renaissance period (17-18th centuries), and to collect and prepare a comprehensive plant list of these gardens. During our investigation, based on archival...

De novo domestication is a novel trend in plant genetics, where traits of wild or semi-wild species are changed by the use of modern precision breeding techniques so that they conform to modern cultivation. Out of more than 300,000 wild plant species, only a few were fully domesticated by humans in ...
