“…The reduction in pesticide applications and pesticide use (a.i.) by weight in absolute terms from 2004 to 2016, among both the IRM and non-IRM farmers, is driven by an increase in area under Bt cotton (Table 1) and Helicoverpa armigera not being a key pest of cotton in 2016 (Peshin et al, 2020). However, the long-term benefits of the IRM training programme on pesticide applications have fleeted after the withdrawal of IRM intervention in 2013 making farmers overdependent on Bt technology and the pesticide industry outreach programmes.…”

The Indian Ecological Society is organising an international conference on Sustainable Agricultural Innovations for Resilient Agri-Food Systems from 13-15 October at Jammu, India. The participants will be presenting and learning about the latest multi-disciplinary agricultural research innovations and strategies for sustainable and resilient agri-food systems. To address the issues of sustainability of agri-food systems from an intra and interdisciplinary perspective on wide ranging topics such as genetics innovations, biodiversity conservation and management, pest management innovations, public health, food safety and security, sustainable energy services and agriculture production, invasive species rising sharply because of increased trade, and policy issues in light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to agriculture and development. The international experts from the discipline of plant and animal genetics and plant breeding, entomology, plant pathology, forestry, soil sciences, extension education, resource economics, aquaculture, water; agriculture industry and farmers and resultant availability and quality of food have contributed their research findings and experiences for wider discussion on these topics. vi 2.5 Effect of Agronomic Bio-fortification of Zn and Fe on Wheat Production and Economics

“…However, it is remarkable that one untreated textile (F1) also showed an antiviral activity after six hours of incubation ( Table 3 ). This textile was made in India, where heavy use of pesticides in cotton planting is known [ 50 ]. This may explain the detected effect.…”

Within the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, personal protective equipment, including face masks, is one important tool to interrupt virus transmission chains within the community. In this context, the quality of different face masks is frequently discussed and should, therefore, be evaluated. In this study, nanofleece textiles with a particle filtering effect and textiles with a self-disinfecting treatment were examined, which may be combined in face masks. Firstly, newly developed nanofleece textiles were tested regarding their filtration efficiency against airborne coronavirus, using feline coronavirus (FCoV) as a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2. The tested nanofleece textiles showed filtration efficiencies of over 95% against FCoV when used as a double layer and were, therefore, almost on par with the FFP-2 mask material, which was used as a reference. Secondly, eight treated, self-disinfecting textiles, which may increase the safety in the handling of potentially contaminated masks, were tested against SARS-CoV-2. Three out of eight treated textiles showed significant activity against SARS-CoV-2 and achieved about three LOG10 (99.9%) of virus titer reduction after twelve hours of incubation. Since all possible transmission paths of SARS-CoV-2, as well as the minimal infection doses, remain unknown, both investigated approaches seem to be useful tools to lower the virus spread within the community.

“…110,111 Because many pesticides need to be applied in the form of spraying, the VOCs in them can easily enter the atmosphere, contaminating the ambient air and harming human health. 112,113 Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the air near farmland.…”

This review's main purpose is to provide a succinct overview of recent developments in the field of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection based on Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). VOCs are important air pollutants, which have great harm to the environment and human body. It is of great significance to realize the rapid detection of VOCs in the atmospheric environment. LIBS is a novel atomic emission spectroscopy technology, which can achieve the rapid in-situ detection of substances and shows great potential in the online monitoring of atmospheric VOCs. To illustrate the development and difficulties of LIBS technology in atmospheric VOCs detection, some typical cases for various aspects are listed, including the detection of harmful elements in VOCs, source tracing of VOCs, the identification of isomers, and the detection of VOCs in living environment.
