Abstract:

The honeybee Apis mellifera is an important pollinator in both undisturbed and agricultural ecosystems. Its great versatility as an experimental model makes it an excellent proxy to evaluate the environmental impact of agrochemicals using current methodologies and procedures in environmental toxicology. The increase in agrochemical use, including those that do not target insects directly, can have deleterious effects if carried out indiscriminately. This seems to be the case of the herbicide glyphosate (GLY), the most widely used agrochemical worldwide. Its presence in honey has been reported

Abstract:

The overuse of agrochemicals threatens ecological balance by accumulating residues in the food chain, harming beneficial insects, degrading soil health and posing health risks through contaminated produce. Balancing their benefits and risks is essential for sustainable agriculture and ecosystem preservation. Keeping this view the present study was conducted with 150 farmers of five villages each from Anand, Borsad and Anklav talukas. The study found that 79.33 per cent of vegetable growers had high level of environmental risk literacy regarding agrochemical use. Variables such as scientific or

Abstract:

Increased public interest in food safety and clean agriculture (e.g., ecological agriculture, organic culture and agrochemical-free cultivation) is driving a production system change from dependence on and use of agrochemicals toward their elimination. However, this raises a huge time- and labor-consuming problem with weeds. The weeding robot “AIGAMO-ROBOT” we propose decreases weeds in paddy fields without resorting to herbicides.

Dimethoate was more absorbed than phosphorus, according to non-competitive experiments. The addition of phosphorus considerably reduced the dimethoate's adsorption capacity on the soils under test.

The use of humic-like substances, zeolites, various porous oxides (i.e., Al, Fe, or Si oxides), and magnetic nanocomposites in the adsorption of agrochemicals from water was critically reviewed. Firstly, the adsorbents were characterized from the structural, textural, and physico-chemical points of view. Secondly, the fundamental aspects of the adsorption of various agrochemicals on the solids (dependence on pH, kinetics, and isotherm of adsorption) were studied and interpreted on the basis of the adsorbent features.

Direct observations, transect counts, sweep netting, and pan trap techniques were used for sampling the INPOs. Overall, the INPOs’ relative abunda
