Background: Pesticides are one of the important sources of environmental pollution that influence human health. The aim of current study was to determine diazinon and benomyl residues levels in mushrooms grown in greenhouses. Methods: Mushroom samples were obtained from 10 active greenhouses of Hamadan Province, Iran, every 14 days from May 2014. The absorbance of diazinon and benomyl were me...

Recent studies have suggested that predatory mirid bugs may be an effective alternative for controlling aphids in sweet pepper greenhouses. This study examined the effect of three constant temperatures (18, 24, and 30 °C) on life history traits species Nesidiocoris tenuis, Macrolophus pygmaeus, Dicyphus bolivari, preying aphid Myzus persicae nicotianae plants. As temperature increased, survival...

Greenhouses require large amounts of energy, which is the dominant factor making greenhouses more emission intensive than open-field cultivation. Alternative heating systems, such as combined heat and power (CHP), biogas, industrial waste heat, are continuously being researched for reducing environmental impacts greenhouses. This paper assesses utilizing CO2 enrichment in an example to propose ...

This article presents the current state-of-the-art research on applying artificial intelligence (AI) technology in smart greenhouses to optimize crop yields, water, and fertilizer use efficiency, reduce pest disease, enhance agricultural sustainability. The key technologies of interest were robotic systems for pesticide application, irrigation, harvesting, bio-inspired algorithms automation gre...

The downwash airflow field of UAVs is insufficient under the dual influence greenhouse structure and crop occlusion, distribution characteristics flight flow in greenhouses are unclear. In order to promote application greenhouses, a were studied herein. containing tomato plants, porous media model was used simulate obstacle effect crops on airflow. multi-reference system method selected solve U...

Lunar Habitation 1 (LH-1) is a proposed permanent lunar base designed to facilitate astronomical research as well as study the feasibility of human colonization of the Moon. Specific emphasis is placed on the effectiveness of inflatable structures as permanent bases and the practicality of incorporating greenhouses in the base. A location on Malapert Mountain on the lunar south pole is selected...

Greenhouses are widely used in agricultural and horticultural production. With the characteristics of lightweight, small stiffness high flexibility, greenhouses sensitive to wind loads. In calculation loads, pressure coefficient (Cp) is essential. The rationality value directly affects safety economy greenhouses. Therefore, Cp values estimation one most important issues design order make full u...

background: the objective of this study was to determine the residual concentrations of ethion and imidacloprid in cucumbers grown in greenhouse. the effect of some simple processing procedures on both ethion and imidacloprid residues were also studied. methods: ten active greenhouses that produce cucumber were randomly selected. ethion and imidacloprid as the most widely used pesticides were m...

Greenhouses of the Botanical Garden "Al. Buia" in Craiova house a varied collection plants, belonging to numerous families. In this paper, species from families Commelinaceae and Piperaceae are presented.
 The family includes herbaceous rarely lianas, native tropical temperate regions world, except Europe. greenhouse, is represented by ornamental Callisia, Cyanotis Tradescantia genera.&#x0...
