“…For cooperation and development, it is necessary to formulate effective market incentives according to the local context to encourage farmers to give up pesticide applications [78,79]. (2) In livelihood dependence, the proportion of tea income significantly promotes the application of pesticides by farmers, and the farmers with a higher proportion of tea income are more likely to apply pesticides. Farmers are rational people and have strong risk aversion preferences [80,81].…”

“…Ever-increasing trends in the population and demands for food and fiber foster the chemical interactions in agriculture. However, most developing countries rely substantially on intensifying production, which eventually lowers the land quality and reduces the resistance to pests and other diseases [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Pesticides are known as substances that are frequently employed in agriculture to eliminate bugs, parasites, and weeds; however, the widespread use of chemical-based pesticides has long been recognized as a major threat to global biodiversity, public health, and environmental safety, and eventually hamper the ecosystem and sustainability [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Improvement in pesticide application and efficiency structure has long been recognized as having great significance in reducing pollution, ensuring food safety, and promoting green agricultural development. Based on theoretical analysis, using the survey data of 766 farmers in key tea areas in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces in China, the study empirically analyzes the influence of market incentives and livelihood dependence on farmers’ multi-stage pesticide application behavior. More specifically, the study employed ordered probit analysis to craft its findings. The dependent variable of this study is the multi-stage pesticide application problem of farmers, and the core independent variables are market incentives and livelihood dependence, and the judgment is based on the core variable coefficients of the econometric model of farmers at each stage. The study found the following: (i) Market incentives significantly prompted some farmers to give up synthetic pesticide application and farmers tend to choose green pesticides in the type of pesticide application. (ii) Livelihood dependence meant that the proportion of tea income significantly prompts farmers to apply pesticides, and also creates a tendency for farmers to choose green and low-toxic pesticides in the type of pesticide application. The planting period tends to have a moderate impact on applying green and low-toxic pesticides. (iii) The interaction term of market incentives and the proportion of tea income has no significant impact on farmers’ multi-stage pesticide application behavior. The interaction term of market incentives and planting years has impacted negatively on whether farmers apply pesticides, and has no significant impact on farmers’ choice of pesticide application types, but makes farmers increase the amount of green and low-toxic pesticides. (iv) The education level of the household head significantly promotes farmers to choose green and low-toxic pesticides. Seemingly, the brand effect of pesticides significantly encourages farmers to choose green and low-toxic pesticides. In external support, technical training significantly encourages farmers to choose green and low-toxic pesticides. Furthermore, better infrastructure and local market conditions significantly encourage farmers to reduce the use of conventional pesticides.

“…The cumulative chronic dietary intakes did not pose health risks for Chinese general population and children. Ping et al (2022) analyzed the residues of 24 pesticides in 293 greenhouse vegetable samples grown under modern urban agriculture from Beijing. Pyridaben was detected in pakchoi and tomato samples, with detection rates of 18.8% and 2%, respectively.…”

Pyridaben is an acaricide widely used around the world to control phytophagous mites, white flies, aphids, and thrips. It is highly toxic to nontarget organisms such as predatory mites, bees, and fishes. Therefore, the occurrence and removal of pyridaben in food and the environment are worthy of concern. This mini-review focuses on pyridaben residue levels in crops, aquatic systems, and soils, as well as the green synthesis and removal of pyridaben. During the period of 2010–2022, pyridaben was reported in monitoring studies on fruits, vegetables, herbs, bee products, aquatic systems, and soils. Vegetable and agricultural soil samples exhibited the highest detection rates and residue levels. One-pot synthesis offers a green chemistry and sustainable alternative for the synthesis of pyridaben. Among traditional home treatments, peeling is the most effective way to remove pyridaben from crops. Magnetic solid-phase extraction technology has emerged as a powerful tool for the adsorption and separation of pyridaben. Photocatalytic methods using TiO2 as a catalyst were developed as advanced oxidation processes for the degradation of pyridaben in aqueous solutions. Current gaps in pyridaben removal were proposed to provide future development directions for minimizing the exposure risk of pyridaben residues to human and nontarget organisms.

With the continuous development of agricultural informatization and mechanized high-tech, the degree of agricultural automation is increasing. The single-chip microcomputer equipment has many advantages such as diverse functions, simple circuits, and low cost, and has broad market prospects. Therefore, the measurement of soil moisture and fertility based on single-chip microcomputers can be widely used in the market. This design is the design of soil moisture and fertility detection system. The system uses STC89C52 microcontroller as the control center of the system, uses the YL69 humidity sensor as the soil humidity sensor module, uses the JXBS-3001-NPK soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium three-in-one fertility sensor as the soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium sensor module, and uses LCD12864 The display is used as the display module of the system, the buzzer is used as the notification module, and the button module is used to set the upper and lower limit values of the preset value of soil moisture and fertility. The soil moisture signal is collected through the YL-69 humidity sensor, the soil fertility signal is collected through the JXBS-3001-NPK soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium three-in-one fertility sensor, and the single chip STC89C52 processes the signal and outputs the control signal to control the Buzzer sounds. At the same time, the single-chip microcomputer sends the data that is not within the range of our preset value to the display screen to make a mark.
