Abstract:
Aircraft are used in a number of resource management operations, including fire suppression, seeding and fertilizing operations, and the application of pesticides to agricultural, forest, and rangelands. The objectives of any aerial application are to apply the material, either liquid or solid, to the target area safely, efficaciously, and economically and to avoid drift, that is, off-target displacement of the agents. Barry (1993) is a general reference for aerial spraying of forests. Picot and Kristmanson (1997) provide an overview of all aspects of this topic. Bache and Johnstone (1993) give a detailed description of spray meteorology. The emphasis in this chapter is on the role of meteorology in the aerial application of liquid pest control agents to manage plant, fungal, and animal pests in mountainous forested areas. The effectiveness of a spray operation depends on the timing of the operation relative to phenological conditions, the characteristics of the forest canopy or rangeland being targeted, the spray formulation, pilot skills and attitude, the aircraft type and spray equipment used, and weather conditions. Pest control agents are regulated by federal, state, and local agencies. Restrictions on the use of agents are specified on the product label and may include weather conditions. Drift reduces the efficacy of a spray operation and can have unintended and undesirable impacts on nontarget species, residences, and public areas near the target area. Although there is a driftable component in every spray operation, the drift potential is generally greater for liquids than for solids because the size of liquid droplets becomes smaller after release into the atmosphere, depending on the volatility of the substance itself, the aircraft and spray equipment used, and the meteorological conditions at the time of spraying. The smaller the droplets, the greater the potential for drift. Weather conditions have a significant impact on drift because wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric stability affect the transport, diffusion, evaporation, settling, and deposition of both solid particles and liquid droplets. The collection of meteorological data and the use of professional weather forecasts are thus an integral part of a spraying operation.

Abstract:
Pesticides are used in managing pests and their use will continue in future because of food security and vector control. Most pesticides are potentially toxic to human beings resulting in severe health consequences. There is also evidence that parental exposure, as well as, exposure in early life or adolescence could increase the longer-term risks. Pesticide exposures have been linked to many human diseases such as Alzheimer, Parkinson, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, asthma, bronchitis, infertility, birth defects, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, diabetes, and obesity, respiratory diseases, organ diseases and system failures. People who are exposed to pesticides are at a greater risk to develop various cancers including non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), leukemia, brain tumors, and cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, stomach, colorectal, liver, and the urinary bladder. The cell culture is an excellent experimental model reflecting human exposure to pesticides at a molecular level which is necessary to understand the hazards. Pesticide users should be aware of their risks and proper handling, as well as must use personal protective equipment which is effective in reducing damage to human health. Carcinogenic pesticides must be eliminated and sustainable and new approaches in pest management should be encouraged.

Full text
Abstract:
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing is a new alternative to traditional diagnosis and detection of rice diseases by visual symptoms, providing quick, accurate and large coverage disease detection. UAV remote sensing offers an unprecedented spectral, spatial, and temporal resolution that can distinguish diseased plant tissue from healthy tissue based on the characteristics of disease symptoms. Research has been conducted on using RGB sensor, multispectral sensor, and hyperspectral sensor for successful detection and quantification of sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani), using multispectral sensor to accurately detect narrow brown leaf spot (Cercospora janseana), and using infrared thermal sensor for detecting the occurrence of rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae). UAV can also be used for aerial application, and UAV spraying has become a new means for control of rice sheath blight and other crop diseases in many countries, especially China and Japan. UAV spraying can operate at low altitudes and various speeds, making it suitable for situations where arial and ground applications are unavailable or infeasible and where precision applications are needed. Along with advances in digitalization and artificial intelligence for precision application across fertilizer, pest and crop management needs, this UAV technology will become a core tool in a farmer’s precision equipment mix in the future.

Abstract:
José Delfín Duarte rises at the crack of dawn in a neighborhood on the outskirts of San Isidro, Costa Rica. He grabs his machete and rain parka, puts on his black galoshes, and heads out in a flatbed truck up a series of muddy roads surrounded by lush forest interspersed with farms. Eventually he arrives at a small water-distribution facility located at the top of a hill overlooking the surrounding watershed. He checks the station’s tanks, carefully noting the water levels. Duarte is the elected leader of a group of local citizens who have been given responsibility for managing water resources in their community. They decide how much water is used and how it will be allocated among families and farms in the area. They collect user fees, purchase equipment, and make numerous daily decisions affecting water use. Their role stems from a power-sharing arrangement with the Costa Rican government, which in recent years has crafted similar agreements with hundreds of local water associations throughout the country. Six thousand miles to the east, Claudia Olazábal begins her day in the outer suburbs of Brussels. She takes the subway to her office in the European Commission, a sleek modern glass and steel building where she heads the Biodiversity Unit of the European Union’s Directorate General for the Environment. On this particular day, her attention is focused on the design of new rules for the control of invasive species, which pose a major threat to ecosystems worldwide. Six years in the making, this rule came about after extensive consultation with stakeholders throughout the twenty-seven member countries of Europe—farmers unions and botanic gardens, prime ministers and pet shop owners. Working with a professional staff of Swiss and Germans, Poles and Portuguese, and many other nationalities, Olazábal is preparing for a lengthy negotiation involving lawmakers throughout the continent in a complex dance that will hopefully produce a new European policy on invasive species. Claudia Olazábal and José Delfín Duarte operate worlds apart, yet they have much in common. Both are creating rules that will shape our planet for decades and even centuries to come.

Another innovative application of volumetric RF heating is the chemical-free pest control in wood-based materials [2]. For such applications where the RF systems often are not completely shielded, the propagation or coupling of the electromagnetic wave into wires that are placed inside the field cannot be neglected which represents a certain risk.
