air; atmospheric chemistry; biotic stress; carbon dioxide; climate change; crop damage; crop production; crop quality; crops; emissions; environmental impact; food security; greenhouse gases; heavy metals; nitrogen oxides; ozone; photosynthesis; phytotoxicity; pollutants; risk; sulfur dioxide; water stress; Africa; Asia; Europe; Latin America; North America
Abstract:
... The concentrations of atmospheric compounds such as greenhouse gases, heavy metals and trace gas air pollutants have rapidly changed. Many of these compounds interact with agricultural systems and influence crop performance, both directly by affecting growth and quality or indirectly by altering the plant’s ability to cope with other abiotic and biotic stresses. Some atmospheric compounds have lit ...

Abstract:
... The behavioral mechanisms of mating disruption in Guatemalan potato moth Tecia solanivora were studied using the sex pheromone components, (E)-3-dodecenyl acetate, (Z)-3-dodecenyl acetate, and dodecyl acetate, formulated in a 100:1:20-ratio mimicking the female-produced blend, and in a 100:56:100 off-blend ratio. The mode of action of these two blends was tested in mating disruption experiments in ...
