Article Synopsis
- Soil-borne diseases and pests significantly harm crop quality, yield, and farmer income, but can be controlled with allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), which is unstable and unevenly distributed in soil.
- Researchers encapsulated AITC in modified diatomite granules, achieving a 27.6% loading that improved its stability and effectiveness against soil pathogens, leading to enhanced tomato growth and yield.
- The encapsulated AITC effectively controlled soil pests for up to 7 months and increased tomato yield by 108%, highlighting this method as a beneficial approach for sustainable pest management.
Article Synopsis
- * The study tested various soil fumigants: dazomet, metham sodium, allyl isothiocyanate, chloropicrin, and dimethyl disulfide, finding chloropicrin (PIC) and metham sodium (MS) to be the most effective at controlling A. flavus.
- * Peanuts grown in fumigated soil showed no detectable levels of aflatoxin B1 after storage, indicating that soil fumigation could greatly improve peanut safety for consumers, with plans for further research to explore commercial applications.
Article Synopsis
- - Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is a newer soil fumigant that helps control pests in agriculture and minimizes harm to new crops by quickly reducing its concentration in the soil post-application.
- - The study found that most DMDS desorption happens within the first hour and is influenced by soil type, moisture, and density, with faster desorption rates observed in certain soils.
- - DMDS degradation primarily depends on soil conditions, and managing these factors can significantly reduce the risk of phytotoxicity to young plants and improve fumigant effectiveness.
Article Synopsis
- Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a biofumigant used to control soil pests that affect crop growth, and its effectiveness is influenced by soil moisture content and application methods.
- Injection of AITC at 50 g/m showed limited diffusion in varying soil moisture conditions, while drip irrigation at 7.5 g/m allowed for greater lateral and vertical spread, effectively targeting soil-borne pathogens and weeds.
- The study concluded that drip irrigation of AITC provides better pest control compared to injection methods, offering valuable insights for optimizing its application in agricultural practices.
Soybean oil body (SOB), rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and biologically active substances, is used as a natural emulsifier in food processing. In addition, SOB is healthier than synthetic emulsifiers. However, the physical and chemical properties of the SOB emulsion directly affect its application in food processing.
