Decline pattern and dietary risk assessment of spinetoram in grapes under Egyptian field conditions.

Spinetoram is one of the most extensively used insecticides globally and is a new spinosyn-based insecticide registered for direct treatment of Egyptian grapes. This work established and validated a developed method for determining spinetoram in grape berries and leaves using the QuEChERS coupled LC-MS/MS technique. The average recoveries ranged between 98.

Sulfoxaflor residues and exposure risk assessment in grape under Egyptian field conditions.

Grapes are among the most popular fruits globally, and insecticides are commonly used on grape farms. Sulfoxaflor, a novel sulfoximine insecticide that works against various insect pests, is extensively used in Egypt. Our field trials assessed the dynamics and final residues of sulfoxaflor in grapes and grape leaves grown in Egyptian environments with different application rates, including worst-case scenarios.

Unlocking geothermal energy for sustainable greenhouse farming in arid regions: a remote-sensed assessment in Egypt's New Delta.

This study introduces a novel approach for assessing geothermal potential in arid regions, specifically Egypt's New Delta Agriculture Mega Project area. The challenge of limited sub-soil temperature profile data was addressed by integrating Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) weather data. Using the Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE) model, the extracted air and sub-soil temperature profiles the potential for geothermal energy production was estimated.
