Ecological Impacts of Pesticides in Agricultural Ecosystem
Pesticides are essential tools in integrated pest management (IPM) programs which can have the great influence if they are used properly. However, the adverse impacts of these compounds on the environment and ecosystem should not be ignored. The ecological effects of pesticides can be discussed from different points of view. Some of the significant consequences of use of pesticides are side eff...
متن کاملComparative analysis of environmental impacts of agricultural production systems, agricultural input efficiency, and food choice
Global agricultural feeds over 7 billion people, but is also a leading cause of environmental degradation. Understanding how alternative agricultural production systems, agricultural input efficiency, and food choice drive environmental degradation is necessary for reducing agriculture’s environmental impacts. A meta-analysis of life cycle assessments that includes 742 agricultural systems and ...
متن کاملWelfare Impacts of Cross-Country Spillovers in Agricultural Research
The welfare implications of intellectual property protection (IPP) for private sector agricultural research are analyzed, focusing on the realistic cases in which countries provide different IPP levels, technology spills over across countries, and the public sector is involved in research. A model is developed to determine who benefits from, and who should pay for, the associated research. The ...
متن کاملModelling the impacts of pests and diseases on agricultural systems
The improvement and application of pest and disease models to analyse and predict yield losses including those due to climate change is still a challenge for the scientific community. Applied modelling of crop diseases and pests has mostly targeted the development of support capabilities to schedule scouting or pesticide applications. There is a need for research to both broaden the scope and e...
متن کاملRivermouth Alteration of Agricultural Impacts on Consumer Tissue δ15N
Terrestrial agricultural activities strongly influence riverine nitrogen (N) dynamics, which is reflected in the δ(15)N of riverine consumer tissues. However, processes within aquatic ecosystems also influence consumer tissue δ(15)N. As aquatic processes become more important terrestrial inputs may become a weaker predictor of consumer tissue δ(15)N. In a previous study, this terrestrial-consum...
