Ornamental Traits and Sensory Analysis of ‘Biquinho Vermelha’ Pepper Treated with Paclobutrazol by Beatriz R. Morales, Lucas C. Costa, Marta R. Verruma-Bernardi, Josiane Rodrigues, Fernando C. Sala, Fernando L. Finger, Christiane F. M. França

“…Likewise, the application of PBZ by drench during transplanting is not recommended as the plants showed a reduced number and size of fruits, which affected the ornamental value of the plants and global preference. Therefore, PBZ applied by D30DAT at concentrations of 2.5 and 5 mg L⁻¹ produced ‘Biquinho Vermelha’ pepper plants with attractive ornamental characteristics; and thereby, should be considered an alternative method for producers of potted ornamental plants.…”

Arsenic leakage crisis in supply chain of battery storage materials: Water quality footprint of cobalt mining demands action by Anna C. Schomberg, Wolf von Tümpling, Ellen Kynast

“…Applying the water quality footprint method, we determined that 30–615 m3 of virtual dilution water per electric car would be needed to reduce arsenic pollution below natural background levels in a scenario that assumes that 49 % of the cobalt from the respective mine enters the production of battery materials aligning with recent global cobalt demand and use figures. In such a scenario, this single mine's water quality footprint would constitute up to 0.15 % of Morocco's annual water availability, concerning all electric cars produced annually with cobalt from this mine, and would take up half the annual capacity of one seawater desalination plant. …”
