Non-chemical methods of weed control: benefits and limitations

Non-chemical methods of weed control will become increasingly important in Europe due to a lack of herbicides, increasing resistance and a new European Union (EU) requirement for use of IPM. Compared with herbicides, non-chemical methods tend to be less effective, more variable, more expensive, may not reduce the requirement for herbicides, provide little visual evidence of success, may have ad...

Chemical Process Control Education and Practice

Chemical process control textbooks and courses differ significantly from their electrical or mechanical-oriented brethren. It is our experience that colleagues in electrical engineering (EE) and mechanical engineering (ME) assume that we teach the same theory in our courses and merely have different application examples. The primary goals of this article are to i) emphasize the distinctly chall...

Reduced biological control and enhanced chemical pest management in the evolution of fungus farming in ants.

To combat disease, most fungus-growing ants (Attini) use antibiotics from mutualistic bacteria (Pseudonocardia) that are cultured on the ants' exoskeletons and chemical cocktails from exocrine glands, especially the metapleural glands (MG). Previous work has hypothesized that (i) Pseudonocardia antibiotics are narrow-spectrum and control a fungus (Escovopsis) that parasitizes the ants' fungal s...
