Biotechnology-a sustainable alternative for chemical industry. (2005, background): “Biopesticides generally tend to be highly target specific, do not leave toxic residues, reduce the risk of resistance development in the target species (Pimentel, 2002) and produce a lesser overall impact on the environment than conventional chemical pesticides.”
Current trends in the evolutionary ecology of plant defence (2011, background): “…estimates of folivory , sap feeding and root herbivory, herbivores remove >20% of annual net primary productivity (summarized from Schoonhoven, Van Loon & Dicke 2005; Rasmann & Agrawal 2008; Schowalter 2000; Pimentel 2002; Maron 1998; Coley & Aide 1991; Brown & Gange 1989; Coupe & Cahill 2003).”
Comparison of Twelve Organic and Conventional Farming Systems: A Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Perspective (2012, methodology): “Since most pesticide production is based on proprietary commercial processes, emissions for the pesticide active ingredients are based on an average of production emissions for generic active ingredients and calculated using data from the Encyclopedia of Pest Management (Pimentel 2011).”
Climate-adapted companion cropping increases agricultural productivity in East Africa (2015, background): “Striga infestation continues to extend to ew areas in the region as farmers abandon heavily infested fields or new ones (Khan, 2002; Gressel et al., 2004), a practice that is nsustainable due to consistent reduction in landholdings due to ncreases in human population (Khan et al., 2008).”
Management of witchweed, Striga hermonthica, and stemborers in sorghum, Sorghum bicolor, through intercropping with greenleaf desmodium, Desmodium intortum (2006, background): “Indeed, in some areas of tropical Africa, farmers are abandoning their cereal fields in search of S. hermonthica-free land (Khan 2002).”
