Insect pests often develop resistance to insecticides, and such resistance represents a serious management problem. Devising methods that concurrently delay resistance and minimize injury by insects to field crops and stored grain has long been a goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). A center...

Farm-level use of organic fertilizer could be influenced by development domains that comprise human population density and markets access. Analysis of 320 farm households from 16 geo-referenced villages provided the basis for assessing farm-level limitations and potentials for organic agriculture...
