  1. 1. Pheromone-based mating disruption to control Spodoptera frugiperda in Tanzania: Possibilites and Constraints for smallholders

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Thomas O'Malley; [2024]
    Nyckelord :pheromone; mating disruption; fall armyworm; Tanzania; smallholder; Spodeptera frugiperda; integrated pest; management;

    Sammanfattning : Despite a growing interest in the use of pheromones as a more sustainable form of pest control, their use remains unstudied in the smallholder context. This paper is one of the first to study their use by small scale Tanzanian maize farmers to control the invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda (known as fall armyworm). LÄS MER

  3. 2. How distributional equity affects evolutionarily sustainable landscape management

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Malin Johansson; [2023-12-14]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : As the human population rapidly grows, ensuring food availability for everyone will require substantial agricultural intensification in a sustainable manner. This must however be achieved without negatively impacting ecosystems or stakeholders' (e.g. farmers) livelihoods. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Exploring patterns in risk factors for bark beetle attack during outbreaks triggered by drought stress with harvester data on attacked trees: A case study in Southeastern Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Nikolaos Kouskoulis; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Forest ecosystems; Bark beetle outbreak; Southeastern Sweden; Predisposing factors; Triggering factors; Drought stress; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Raising temperatures and climate variability have intensified extreme weather events worldwide. These extremes can enhance and trigger possible pest outbreaks. Bark beetle attacks have become a major concern in regions with extensive spruce forest areas. Southeastern Sweden has faced repeated outbreaks resulting in widespread tree loss. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Kemiska växtskyddsmedel i jordbruket : en förutsättning för tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning?

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Joakim Stattin; [2023]
    Nyckelord :växtskydd; kemiska växtskyddsmedel; livsmedelstrygghet; jordbruk; avkastning; odlingssystem; integrerat växtskydd;

    Sammanfattning : Jordbruket står inför stora utmaningar under de kommande decennierna. Jordens ökande befolkning driver upp efterfrågan på livsmedel och biobränslen från jordbruket. Men jordbrukets produktion bör inte öka genom att expandera till ytan eftersom det skulle ske på bekostnad av viktiga naturliga habitat. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Deep-Decarbonization of the Industrial Sector through Electrification in France : Analysis of Current Status, Technologies and Policies

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Alexandra Couchy; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing scientific awareness around man’s responsibility towards global warming has led to political decisions and actions, in order to try to curb the phenomenon of climate change. As a pioneer in tackling greenhouse gases emissions, Europe is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, with emission reduction targets of -55% by 2030, and Member States have had to make plans to fulfil this goal.
