Lubricant breakdown and galling phenomena are widely observed at the tooling surface during the stamping of aluminium components for the automotive industry, which compromise the formed surface quality and reduce tool-life. The lubricant performance has been found to be significantly influenced by its method of application. In the present research,...

Varroosis is one of the most dangerous threats to the bee industry but means of its treatment are still unsatisfactory. Lithium-based anti-Varroa treatments may provide an alternative, as this trace element can be a natural component of honey and is well tolerated by adult bees. However, it can be toxic to larvae and its use in beekeeping practice ...

In this report we review the concepts behind the Four Cell Method (FCM), its development over the years and its application in a center of origin and domestication for potato and tubers, involving >100 farmers in ≈30 communities and including >128 farmer recognized crop varieties in 4 Andean regions of Peru. As part of this process a guide in Spani...

In many cases, pesticides' side effects on natural enemies have closely related to their exposure route. We assessed long-term lethal and sublethal effects of thiamethoxam (TMX) on the predatory bug, Orius albidipennis (Reuter), fed on Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae), through three exposure routes. First-instar nymphs were treated with...

A study into doses of seed treatments and foliar plant protection products containing an identical active substance registered to control the same pest in the same crops was carried out in the European Union. The results show that, for fungicides, the use of seed treatment is often connected with a significantly lower release of active substance pe...

Animal houses are extremely dusty environments. Airborne particulate matter (PM) poses a health threat not only to the farmer and the animals, but, as a result of emissions from ventilation systems, also to residents living in livestock farming areas. In relation to this problem, the objectives of this thesis were threefold. The first objective was...

The effects of various concentrations, distance, and application methods of Altriset (Chlorantraniliprole) were investigated against one of the most destructive termites, the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes Kollar. Three laboratory experiments were conducted. First, we examined the concentration effect of treating the soil con...

Grondtelers moeten in het algemeen nog een flinke slag maken om uitspoeling van mineralen te voorkomen, verplicht op grond van Europese regelgeving. Maar dat geldt niet voor de biologische telers. Zij hebben de watergift tot kunst verheven en ook bemesting op maat is een voortdurend punt van aandacht. Resultaat: nauwelijks uitspoeling.
