The efficient application of low cost pesticides is a challenge for agricultural production. Pesticide drift is a major cause of environmental contamination. At the time of application, it is essential to know the environmental ...

Pesticide exposure in rural areas affects a sector of the population that is highly exposed and very vulnerable. Thus, agricultural workers represent a highly vulnerable population to the toxic effects of pesticide exposure. ...

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are the most extensively studied types of immunoassay and their application in pesticide residue monitoring is an area with enormous potential for growth. In comparison with ...

The sensitivity analysis of pesticide models to input parameters related to crop management practices supplies working hypotheses to improve pesticide uses and environmental quality. Parameters of pesticide models that are ...

Aerial spraying of pesticides has increasingly become a topic for discussion about its viability and safety. If, on one hand, it is a tool for monetary gains and time reduction in agricultural sectors, conversely, exposes ...

We showed the results of the first long-term analysis (1987-2019) of pesticide (herbicides, fungicides and insecticides) impact in the Rolling Pampa, one of the main agricultural areas of Argentina. Using a clear and ...

The use of pesticides in agriculture is essential to maintain the quality of large-scale production. The spraying of these products by using aircraft speeds up the process and prevents compacting of the soil. However, ...
