  1. 11. Acute pesticide poisonings in Nicaragua : underreporting, incidence and determinants

    Författare :Marianela Corriols Molina; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Pesticide poisonings; surveillance system; underreport; incidence; economic costs; determinants; integrated pest management;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Acute pesticide poisonings (APP) are a public health problem in Nicaragua. The quality and coverage of APP´s register, the real incidence of APP, the main determinants, the economic cost of treating cases and the effectiveness of educational intervention are not well known.

  3. 12. Plant resistance ecology - the role of resistance in plant-insect mutualisms

    Författare :Daniela Weber; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Global food security is largely dependent on the use of synthetic pesticides for pest control. This extensive reliance on pesticides, however, has promoted widespread loss of insect diversity; thereby jeopardizing the provision of insect ecosystem services like pollination and biological control.

  4. 13. Insect-plant interactions within cultivar mixtures : volatile plant communication as an underlying mechanism

    Författare :Sokha Kheam; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Promoting genotypic diversity of crops via cultivar mixtures presents a promising strategy to sustainably control insect pests and diseases, and thereby enhance yield. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for reduced pest performance in cultivar mixtures remain unexplored. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum L.) resistance and genetic diversity in field pea (Pisum sativum L.)

    Författare :Abel Teshome; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important source of protein in developing countries like Ethiopia. However, the production of field pea is hampered by invasive pests like the pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum L.). LÄS MER

  7. 15. Insect pollination of oilseed rape

    Författare :Sandra Lindström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Ecological intensification of agriculture is suggested as a way to reach higher crop yields without increasing inputs that may degrade the environment. Increased insect pollination in crops, such as oilseed rape, Brassica napus, has been suggested to increase yields, but is rarely integrated in crop management. LÄS MER
