Evaluation of Local Organic Materials as Source of Organic Pesticides for Pest Control in Carrots. by Kanyesigye, Arozious

“…The highest value of carrot fruit weight was obtained under tobacco extracts followed by wood ash, the mixture of wood ash and tobacco leaf extract, cypermethrin, and control respectively leading to an increase in profit margins and benefit-cost ratio in these treatments respectively except under cypermethrin where the variable cost was higher than gross income. Generally the use of organic pesticides provided good results in controlling pests and reducing weed and yield.…”

Applied machine learning for predicting the properties and carbon and phosphorus fate of pristine and engineered hydrochar by Shiyu Xie, Tao Zhang, Siming You, Santanu Mukherjee, Mingjun Pu, Qing Chen, Yaosheng Wang, Esmat F. Ali, Hamada Abdelrahman, Jörg Rinklebe, Sang Soo Lee, Sabry M. Shaheen

“…FeCl3 impregnation increased Fe-phosphate content, while it reduced H/C and O/C ratios and hydroxyapatite P content, and therefore improved C stability and P availability in the HC-Fe as compared to HC, particularly under lower pH (4), temperature of 220 ℃, and at 120 min. The generalized additive ML model outperformed the other models for predicting the HC properties with a correlation coefficient of 0.86. …”
