Abstract:
... Termites are eusocial arthropod decomposers, and improve soil fertility, crop yield, and also are used by humans for their benefits across the world. However, some species of termites are becoming a threat to the farming community as they are directly and indirectly causing major losses to the agricultural system. It is estimated that termites cost the global economy more than 40 billion USD annua ...

Abstract:
... The last few decades have seen a significant increase in the land under tea cultivation in the major tea growing regions of the world, mostly owing to the increase in the number of small-scale tea growers. These small-scale tea growers often resort to unsustainable agricultural practices. However, some of the growers in a few tea growing regions are converting to sustainable production systems lik ...

Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides, such as azoxystrobin, have been applied as in-furrow and foliar sprays to manage R. solani, but repeated use of QoI fungicides pose risks in fungicide resistance. Penthiopyrad is a novel fu ...
