A Deep Survey on Techniques Used to Recognize Locust Based on CNN
Abstract: The major threat in agriculture is insect pests and crop disease. Outbreaks and upsurges of insects can cause huge loss to crop production. Locusts are crop devouring pests found in many parts of the world. Recognition of locusts in early stage helps to prevent the spread of locusts by taking appropriate counter-measures and biological control methods. Initially, locusts were classified and recognized manually which is time consuming and requires taxonomic …

Cultural Approaches for Plant Disease Management
Abstract: ABSTRACTCultural practices (CPs) can be harnessed for the management of soil and foliar-borne diseases by creating an environment which is favorable for the host and unfavorable for the pathogen. Most cultural practices used to control plant disease are preventive in nature. There are three categories of cultural practices: (a) CP, which is usually applied for agricultural purposes not related to crop protection, such as fertilization and irrigation, (b) CPs, which …

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Insect Behavior
Abstract: Climate change is a major source of concern across the globe. It is being fueled by an increase in global mean temperature, an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, and an irregular shift in yearly precipitation. This will have a significant impact on the distribution, abundance, ecology, and behaviour of all species, and specifically insects, which are poikilothermic in nature. Insects will go through multiple life cycles as a result of …

Fenvalerate Toxicity on Fish: A Review
Abstract: As a new class of agricultural insecticides, synthetic pyrethroids are widely used to control insect pests. Synthetic pyrethroids have shown to enter the aquatic environment from agricultural runoff or drift from aerial and ground-based spraying applications posing threat to fishes, which are less tolerant to pesticides through direct exposure. These insecticides interfere with the sodium channel of the nervous system resulting in prolonged sodium tail current. Widespread application of these …
