Land use changes such as deforestation and urban development influences the river discharge, soil erosion and sediment yield. It is important to evaluate tools which can be used to assess such impacts on water and sediment yield. Therefore, this study evaluated the Annualized Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollutant (AnnAGNPS) model's performance in simulating runoff and sediment loads in Nan Province, Thailand using seven years of continuous monitoring data.

Improved methods that are simpler and lower cost are needed for carbofuran detection in food and agricultural samples. Herein, we describe the development of a unique electrochemical method for carbofuran-phenol, which is the main hydrolysis product of carbofuran.

Their structures were identified by interpretation of their spectroscopic data as well as comparison with those reported in the literature. In addition, all isolated compounds were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activities.
