“…Crow & Dewar [1] used rubber sheeting with horizontal and vertical slits to determine areas of stress in combat coveralls to determine minimum seam strength requirements. Airey [2] discussed the requirements of agriculture coveralls and proposed a range of garments suitable for agriculture applications. Ashdown & Watkins [3] focused on the development of a mobility analysis test and applied it for investigating the mobility issues of disposable coveralls.…”

There have also been considerable studies focused on the thermal comfort of protective coveralls [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Both the properties of fabric materials and garment styles were considered in these investigations.Although considerable work has been carried out in the past, findings vary greatly due to the subjectivity in wearer trials AbstractAgricultural workers require work wear that fits well and is comfortable, durable, and protects from hazardous substances encountered in the work place. In order to understand how garment style and design details affect fitting, mobility, durability and protection, three styles of disposable agricultural coveralls are compared through wearer trials. They include a traditional disposable coverall from the market (Labeled as "B"), a modified coverall from the same manufacturer with elastic panels in the back (Labeled as "R") and a design created by the researchers that incorporates pleated sections (Labeled as "P). By analyzing the data of the wearer trials and wearers' feedbacks, it was found that the pleat design in "P" style was the least preferred in terms of fitting as the pleats were opened in stretch movements and present a hindrance due to the fact that they did not lay flat. Instead, users preferred the "R" style as the elastic panels under the arms and at back provides adjustability for fitting. The "R" style also showed the least tear damage in high tear risk areas (i.e. torso, ankle and lower leg), while the "p" style has the higher tear risk in most of sections except the sleeve section. In terms of abrasion resistance, the "B" style is most preferred, followed by the "R" and "P" style. No significant differences were found among the three styles in terms of dirt resistance. While "R" style was the most preferred, future improvement can be made by adding pockets, using larger zipper pulls, removing ankle elastic and adding leg opening zippers, and making adjustable fit at different areas of the body. By analyzing the data of the wearer trials and wearers' feedbacks, in terms of fitting, it was found that the pleat design in "P" style was the least preferred as the pleats were opened in stretch movement, but were perceived as a hindrance due to the fact that the pleats did not lie flat..Instead, users preferred the "R" style for adjustability. In terms of tear resistance, the "R" style is again preferred, showing least tear damage in high tear risk areas (i.e. torso, ankle and lower leg), while the "p" style has the higher tear risk in most of sections except sleeve section. In terms of abrasion resistance, the "B" style is most preferred, followed by the "R" and "P" style. No significant differences were found among the three styles in terms of dirt resistance.

“…En Costa Rica, un estudio de aplicaciones en el cultivo de Sechium edule (cidra), encontró que las regiones del cuerpo del operario con mayor exposición a los plaguicidas fueron las manos, rostro y cuello (Medina-Escobar et al, 2014). Airey (1990) menciona que los conjuntos de chaqueta y pantalón impermeables resultan adecuados desde el punto de vista de la protección.…”

En esta investigación se evaluó la importancia que tienen las arvenses en el sostenimiento de la diversidad de insectos que visitan las flores de café. Se seleccionaron dos parcelas con manejo integrado de arvenses (MIA) y dos con manejo excesivo (MEA). En cada parcela se recolectaron y registraron los insectos visitantes de las flores de café en 30 árboles, en intervalos de ocho minutos por árbol, en tres horarios durante un día. Los muestreos se realizaron en dos eventos de floración por año, durante dos años, para un total de 192 horas de observaciones. Por parcela se identificaron los insectos y se estimaron abundancia, riqueza y diversidad del orden q=1 y q=2. Estos valores fueron comparados mediante una prueba de diferencia mínima significativa al 5%. En las parcelas MIA se trazaron tres transectos y se recolectaron los insectos visitantes de las arvenses, con igual frecuencia y forma que en el muestreo anterior, durante los períodos sin floración del café. En las flores del café de las parcelas MIA se registraron 2.347 individuos y 163 especies, en las parcelas MEA se recolectaron 2.543 individuos y 162 especies; en las arvenses se registraron 735 individuos y 171 especies. La riqueza, abundancia y valores de diversidad del orden q=1 y q=2 fueron estadísticamente iguales entre las parcelas. Las arvenses Bidens pilosa, Commelina difusa, Emilia sonchifolia, Hyptis atrorubens y Galinsoga parviflora, fueron las más visitadas por los insectos. Los resultados muestran una alta diversidad de especies de insectos visitantes florales, tanto en el cultivo del café como en las arvenses.
