The environmental impact of agriculture varies based on the wide variety of agricultural practices employed around the world. Ultimately, the environmental impact depends on the production practices of the system used by farmers. The connection between emissions into the environment and the farming system is indirect, as it also depends on other climate variables such as rainfall and temperature. Some other factors can include types of machinery used for agriculture purposes as well as the farmer's choice of how they handle their livestock. There are two types of indicators of environmental...

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier is the most pests of various palm species. The RPW causes severe damage to coconuts in Southeast Asia. Recently, research efforts point out the potential of the green synthesis of metal NPs, chiefly Ag NPs, for use against a wide spectrum of noxious pest species either in the laboratory or in the field. For example, Jayaseelan et al. (2011) and Abdel-Raheem, et al., (2019, 2020) on R. ferrugineus reported that Ag NPs synthesized by leaf aqueous extract of Tinospora cordifolia (Thunb.) caused complete mortality of the head louse, P....

Le charançon rouge du palmier (CRP) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera : Curculionidae) est un ravageur clé du palmier originaire des pays d'Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est qui a considérablement étendu sa zone géographique et sa gamme d'hôtes au cours des trois dernières décennies. Au Proche-Orient, le TBE provoque des dégâts très étendus sur le palmier-dattier Phoenix dactylifera L., avec des impacts agricoles sur la production de palmiers, ce qui a des répercussions négatives sur les moyens de subsistance des agriculteurs, et des impacts environnementaux. En Afrique du...
