Researchers are using machine learning to develop next-generation mosquito repellents that could outmatch DEET and ...

In a recent study, researcher Anandasankar Ray at the University of California, Riverside, and his team employed machine learning techniques combined with cheminformatics to predict novel mosquito ...

If a field averages 3 + stink bugs, it's probably justified to add it, but if not, save your spray! Pyrethroids do a poor job on corn earworm and have limited residual activity. They also are good at ...

An analysis of data covering 12 years and 10 U.S. Corn Belt states reveals that farmers suffer economic loss from the overuse ...

A 2023 study of low-income urban and rural Latino children in North Carolina found the urban children were mostly exposed to organochlorines, which are no longer widely used but are very persistent, ...

"Products containing pyrethrins and synthetic derivative pyrethroids will be more hazardous to cats than dogs." Pyrethroids, such as permethrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin and bifenthrin ...

"We have also used machine learning to identify analogs of pyrethroids that are up to 100 times more effective than existing industry standards, like allethrin. This could have a significant ...

Spatial repellents, which emit pyrethroid insecticides (synthetic insecticides for killing mosquitoes) in low doses through heated dispensers or coils, are widely used, but are facing rising concerns ...
