Abstract:
Pesticide residue persistence pattern in three vegetable crops, viz., tomato, cabbage and cauliflower, cultivated following previously developed pesticide residue-free IPM packages, was compared with a crop cultivated under conventional or non - IPM conditions. It was observed that vegetables grown as per IPM practices were safer to consume at harvest compared to those grown as per conventional cultivation practices, with chemical control as the sole means of plant protection. Pesticide residues, if present, were mostly in trace amounts (< 0.01 ppm) in vegetables grown as per IPM practices,

Abstract:
The use of pesticides in agriculture has been a common practice aimed at protecting crops from pests, diseases, and weeds. However, increasing concerns about the environmental and health impacts of chemical pesticide use have prompted a reassessment of agricultural practices. This paper explores the rationale for avoiding pesticides in agriculture, presents sustainable alternatives, and highlights the benefits of adopting a pesticide-free approach.

Abstract:
A mail survey was distributed to school turfgrass managers throughout Connecticut focusing on the differences between turfgrass management practices for kindergarten through eighth-grade (K-8) school grounds before, during, and after a 2010 ban on pesticide use at these facilities. The results indicate that as turf care protocol transitioned from an integrated pest management (IPM) program to new pesticide-free regulatory requirements, school grounds/athletic field managers did not significantly adjust their management programs. The percentage of managers applying pesticides on K-8 grounds dec

Abstract:
The use of pesticides on school properties continues to come under scrutiny considering health risks to members of school communities. Legislation in the state of Connecticut in 2010 prohibited the use of pesticide products registered with the Environmental Protection Agency on school grounds. Ten years later, this research seeks to explore the impact of pesticide-free legislation on maintenance of school landscapes and athletic fields. A survey was disseminated to municipal and school representatives in Connecticut. This is part one of a three-part series that documents grounds maintenance ch

Abstract:
Pesticides are chemicals used to control different types of pests. Though pesticides played a role in improving the quantity and quality of production, they have been threatening ecosystems and posed effects on humans in different parts of the world. Unfortunately, there were no studies made about the effects of pesticide residues on ecosystems and consumers in the Fogera District of Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Hence, the main objective of this study was to understand the knowledge, attitude, and practices of respondents about the effects of pesticide residues on ecosystems and consumers. A cross

Ten years after the Connecticut school pesticide ban, the inability to apply Environmental Protection Agency-registered pesticides on school grounds has altered the management of athletic fields and landscapes. This is part two of a three-part series that documents grounds maintenance changes, grounds quality, and potential transitions to synthetic turf 10 years following this ban. To explore the 10-year impact of the 2010 pesticide ban on quality perceptions and management budgets of school grounds properties, a survey was distributed in 2021 to Connecticut school grounds managers.

Abstract:
Because our civilization has relied on pesticides to fight weeds, insects, and diseases since antiquity, the use of these chemicals has become natural and exclusive. Unfortunately, the use of pesticides has progressively had alarming effects on water quality, biodiversity, and human health. This paper proposes to improve farming practices by replacing pesticides with a laser-based robotic approach. This study focused on the neutralization of aphids, as they are among the most harmful pests for crops and complex to control. With the help of deep learning, we developed a mobile robot that spans

Abstract:
The intensification and globalization of agriculture, particularly with the advent of the Green Revolution in the 1960s, led to the widespread use of synthetic chemicals, which became an integral part of farming systems. However, the extensive use of pesticides has been criticized for its negative impacts on the environment, human health, beneficial insects, and the ecosystem as a whole. In many cases, the drawbacks of pesticide use may outweigh its benefits. The challenges associated with efficient pesticide management are not solely technical or financial; moral concerns, public perception,

Abstract:
Orthoptera is an order of insects that includes grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, and locusts. These insects are characterized by their large hind legs, adapted for jumping, and their ability to produce sound (stridulation) by rubbing certain body parts together. Certain species of grasshoppers can undergo a phase change to become locusts, forming large swarms that can travel great distances and cause significant agricultural damage. The sound produced by crickets and katydids is species-specific and is used to attract mates. Each species has a unique song. Many Orthopterans have evolved to bl

Abstract:
As described throughout this book, plant factories with artificial lighting (PFALs) can contribute to solving global and local issues in: 1) food safety and security, 2) environmental recovery, improvement, and creation, 3) increasing demands for a higher quality of fresh, functional, pesticide-free foods, 4) reducing food mileage and food loss, and 5) quality of life. However, in practice, most existing PFALs have not yet achieved the potential that PFALs have. This chapter provides an overview of the challenges in sustainable PFALs both in food production and in achieving wider social goals.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), often found in soil rhizosphere and capable of colonising plant roots, are a diverse group of free-living bacteria that are advantageous to plant development. The rhizosphere, a crucial component of soil ecology and plant health for interactions between plants and microbes, is connected to PGPR. Associative nitrogen fixers like Azospirillum, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas, as well as symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Azorhizobium, Allorhizobium, Sinorhizobium, and Mesorhizobium, have been demonstrated to a

Vertical farming is the practice during which the crops are grown in a vertically stacked layers or integrated skyscraper or old warehouse etc. with use of less water and in the absence of soil. Vertical farming has many advantages viz. there is reliable crop production round the year, unaffected by adverse climate. It also minimises the use of water and uses space in a better way, provides completely organic yield, reduces transport costs,provides pesticide free cultivation, low labour cost and highly energy efficient crop.[7]There are many factors now-a-days which are demolishing the food av
