Protecting honey bees and other pollinators from pesticide impacts is important to the sustainability of agriculture.Consequently, pesticide applicators must determine if there is a clear hazard to managed or wild populations of bees.Potential exposure of bees to pesticides can vary greatly depending on the type of pesticide, formulation, applicati
The artificial lighting based on multiple-primary light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or multiple-primary laser diodes (LDs) makes the diversity of colors by freely and simply adjusting the emission spectra of rays from these semiconductor devices.It brings the possibility that the artificial lighting matches well with the photosynthetic Default spectral
Abstract Background Spodoptera litura (Fab.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) commonly known as tobacco caterpillar is a polyphagous pest that causes significant damage to many agricultural crops.The extensive use of chemical insecticides against S.litura has resulted in development of resistance.In order to find potential biocontrol agents, gut microbes w
In allusion to solve the issue of fault diagnosis for bearing and other rotatory machinery, a technique based on fined-grained multi-scale Kolmogorov entropy and whale optimized multi-class support vector machine (abbreviated as FGMKE-WOA-MSVM) is proposed.Firstly, vibration signals are decomposed by Toothbrushes fine-grained multi-scale decomposit
Interspecific hybrids are commonplace in agriculture and horticulture; bread wheat and grapefruit are but two examples.The benefits derived from interspecific hybridisation include the potential of generating advantageous transgressive phenotypes.This paper describes the generation of a new breed of wine yeast by interspecific hybridisation between
