Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging coupling with multivariate analysis in spectral region of 200 to 1800cm was developed to quantify and visualize thiophanate-methyl (TM) and its metabolite carbendazim residues in red bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) and support vector machines (SVM) models based on seven optimized characteristic peaks that showed SERS effects of TM and its metabolite carbendazim residues were employed to establish prediction models. SERS spectra with first derivative (1st) and second derivative (2nd) method were subsequently compared and the optimized model of 1st-LS-SVM acquired showed the best performance (RPD=6.08, R=0.986 and RMSEP=0.473). The results demonstrated that SERS imaging with multivariate analysis had the potential for rapid determination and visualization of the trace TM and its metabolite carbendazim residues in complex food matrices.

Sheath blight disease is accountable for substantial loss in rice production worldwide. Endophytic bacteria are exploited as biocontrol agents due to their effectiveness in antagonizing a wide range of phytopathogens through a multifaceted approach. In the present study, the potentiality of deploying endophytic bacteria for the sustainable management of rice sheath blight was investigated.

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by the Fusarium graminearum species complex, poses a significant threat to global wheat production and human health due to its high virulence and the ability to produce harmful secondary metabolites. Although various fungicides have been extensively used to control FHB, there is a critical need for more comprehensive information on the resistance of F. graminearum to fluopyram in China.

Seed germination is a critical stage in crop growth and is often limited by various biotic and abiotic factors that hinder plant establishment. Seed priming is a pre-sowing treatment that prepares seeds, enhancing the potential for more vigorous seedling emergence. This study aimed to explore the effects of leaf extracts from Peppermint, Thyme, Rosemary, and Savory, both individually and in combination, as seed priming agents on the early germination stages of and , which were grown in pots in a greenhouse.

Few studies have investigated the association between pesticide exposure and immune-inflammatory indices in children. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 369 school-aged children from three Mexican communities with varying levels of agricultural production. Blood samples were collected to calculate immune-inflammatory indices, and pooled hand-washing samples from 30 randomly selected children per community were analyzed for pesticide metabolites.

Pokkah Boeng Disease (PBD) is a severe and devastating disease that causes significant damage and yield losses in China. The pathogenic fungus is responsible for the rapid onset of top rot symptoms in sugarcane. In this study, we selected a representative strain, BS2-6, to perform morphological observations of colonies and determine pathogenicity.
