TL;DR: It was shown that all cultivars had broad flowering peaks with maximum anthesis occurring between January and April, and flowering of the 1988 flushes increased in 1989–1990, was most abundant in 1990–1991, and decreased in the 1991–1992 flowering season.

TL;DR: Enumerations of populations of hydrocarbon-degrading microoorganisms in the bottom section suggest that biodegradation may be affected by the response of microorganisms to both the “close rhizosphere” and the "expandedrhizosphere" after root removal.
Abstract: It is difficult to directly evaluate the efficacy of phytoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants embedded in deep soil layers, especially if the contaminants are of relatively low concen...

TL;DR: The use of a decision tree is shown to be an effective method for understanding integrated pest management strategies and solutions and to ensure a low initial infestation level.
Abstract: Integrated pest management strategies were adopted to combat the coffee berry borer (CBB) after its arrival in Hawaii in 2010. A decision tree framework is used to model the CBB integrated pest management recommendations, for potential use by growers and to assist in developing and evaluating management strategies and policies. The model focuses on pesticide spraying (spray/no spray) as the most significant pest management decision within each period over the entire crop season. The main result from the analysis suggests the most important parameter to maximize net benefit is to ensure a low initial infestation level. A second result looks at the impact of a subsidy for the cost of pesticides and shows a typical farmer receives a positive net benefit of $947.17. Sensitivity analysis of parameters checks the robustness of the model and further confirms the importance of a low initial infestation level vis-a-vis any level of subsidy. The use of a decision tree is shown to be an effective method for understanding integrated pest management strategies and solutions.
