Summary: This study identified novel markers affecting pollen beetle resistance to pesticides using a proteogenomic approach. Understanding the mechanisms of insecticide resistance is crucial for successful pest control, especially in integrated pest management. The study highlighted the roles of specific proteins and RNA in multiresistance, emphasizing the importance of exploring epigenetic drivers in natural habitats.

Summary: This study investigated the long-term trends in pollen beetle population in oilseed rape crops. The results showed that the population of pollen beetles has been increasing in the UK, indicating persistent control issues. However, there is a relationship between spring counts and previous summer counts, suggesting the possibility of forecasting spring migration of pollen beetles using suction-trap samples.

Summary: Pollen beetle species exhibit different color responsiveness, with Brassicogethes aeneus and B. viridescens being most attracted to fluorescent yellow traps, while B. coracinus, Fabogethes nigrescens, and Meligethes atratus prefer blue or white traps. B. aeneus and B. viridescens also have an earlier spring flight period compared to the other species. Funnel traps that have both fluorescent yellow and blue color cues are the most efficient in attracting a wide range of pollen beetle species.

Summary: Diversification of agroecosystems through mixed cropping can improve yields and provide multiple ecosystem services. A field experiment in Finland studied the effects of intercropping brassicaceous plants and faba bean on the yield and quality of white cabbage, herbivory on the cabbage, and insect communities. The results showed that complex plot designs with trap crops resulted in higher cabbage yields, while intercropping reduced pest abundance.

Summary: The study found that using cereal straw for bioenergy and planting cover crops can improve spring barley yield and quality under specific environmental conditions, and also have a positive impact on soil quality. It is crucial to consider site-specific management measures to balance the trade-offs between crop yield and quality, environmental benefits, and soil quality.

Summary: This study developed a CA-Jensen optimization model for adjusting the spatial distribution of cropland and the spatiotemporal allocation of crop water consumption in arid and semiarid zones, aiming to optimize the utilization of limited water resources. The optimization results showed that, despite reductions in agricultural water and cultivated land, the net benefits of unit water and social benefits were increased.

Summary: This study used the global tropospheric zenith delay grid products of VMF1 and VMF3 to calculate the tropospheric zenith delay of eight IGS stations in China and analyzed the accuracy of the two products under different interpolation methods. The results showed that there were no significant differences in accuracy when using different interpolation methods. The interpolation accuracy of the VMF3 grid model was slightly higher than that of the VMF1, and the interpolation accuracy of the tropospheric delay was related to the elevation difference of grid points. Additionally, a ZTD height change grid model was constructed using the least squares exponential fitting method, and its accuracy was verified using the tropospheric delay product provided by the IGS. The constructed model effectively reduced tropospheric delay errors in VMF interpolation when there was a large height change, with a significant improvement in accuracy at the URUM station.

Summary: Safflower shows promise as an effective trap crop for managing Lygus pratensis in cotton fields. Early-sown safflower is more conducive to the settlement and reproduction of Lygus pratensis. Intercropping safflower trap crops is more effective at reducing the densities of Lygus pratensis on cotton compared to other placement patterns. Regular chemical control of Lygus pratensis on safflower trap crops increases cotton boll production and reduces boll damage.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the current state of greenhouse modelling, identifying the key processes and common approaches used in process-based greenhouse models. The analysis reveals the variation and overlap in model design and complexity. The study suggests that increased transparency, code availability, shared datasets, and evaluation benchmarks will enhance model reuse, extension, evaluation, and comparison.

Summary: Agricultural insurance is essential for transferring the risk caused by unfavorable weather conditions outside the farm. Index-based insurances, as an alternative to traditional products, have the potential to reduce costs but may be affected by basis risk when poorly related to underlying biological processes and actual yield losses.

Summary: The research on hydrochorous dispersal through agricultural channels shows that vegetation cover at the water surface is a key factor in explaining floating seed retention in open channels. The experiment results indicate that different species react differently to changes in seed density, and that vegetation cover at the free water surface is a generic predictor of floating seed retention. Additionally, a semi-empirical formula has been developed to predict seed retention, which can be used by stakeholders to estimate vegetation needed to limit or enhance seed dispersal in channels.

Summary: The study explores the use of DART modeling and 3D tree representations to predict tree crown transmittance Tc, essential for accurate surface reflectance retrieval. Results show that neglecting Tc can lead to very inaccurate reflectance retrieval, especially in high background reflectance areas and in the NIR and SWIR spectral regions. Improving the estimation of Tdir and Tscat variability, along with realistic 3D tree modeling, is crucial for enhancing reflectance retrieval in tree shadows when using atmospheric correction models.

Summary: The study evaluated the photogrammetric technique (SfM) as a rapid, accurate method of measuring undisturbed soil volume for bulk density (BD) measurements. The results showed that the BD measured by SfM was significantly similar to that measured by core sampling, indicating the suitability of SfM for stony soils.
