Abstract. Climate change is a global environmental threat to all economic sectors, particularly the agricultural sector. Pakistan one of countries negatively affected by climate due its high exposure extreme events and low adaptive capacity. In Pakistan, farmers are primary stakeholders in agriculture more at risk vulnerability. Based on farm household data from 450 households collected three districts agroecological zones Punjab province this study examines how perceive they adapt their...

Cotton is the second largest crop of Pakistan in terms area after wheat and being suffered by multiple shocks over time due to conventional agricultural management practices, climate change, market failures. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) was introduced Food Agricultural Organization (FAO) 2010, as an innovative cleaner production alternative farming that aimed at increasing efficiency natural resources, resilience, productivity system, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The adverse...

Pulmonary hypertension in the setting of cirrhosis and portal is known as portopulmonary (PPHTN). Moderate or severe PPHTN uncommon, but has a poor prognosis considered to be contraindication liver transplantation. We assessed impact vasodilation therapy on pulmonary hemodynamics outcome after transplant these patients. Eighty-six patients evaluated for between 1997 2005 had an estimated right ventricular systolic pressure >40 mm Hg clinical suspicion PPHTN. Right heart catheterization...

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has recently received increasing attention from researchers and the business community. Due to globalization changing consumption patterns, agri-food industries have undergone a transformation, sustainability of chains also greater attention. However, issues SSCM at upstream level in not been adequately empirically studied. This paper aims list key or constraints production marketing through farmers’ group discussions, supplemented by literature,...

Abstract Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), adults were collected from eight groves across central Florida, and the level of insecticide resistance to ten insecticides was measured using a bottle bioassay. The gene expression five cytochrome P450 CYP4 (CYP4C67, CYP4DA1, CYP4DB1, CYP4G70 CYP4C68) three glutathione S‐transferase (GSTD1, GSTE2 GSTE1) genes characterized in seven field populations D. compared with laboratory population. Additionally, we reared...

A relatively new insecticide chemistry for controlling sucking insects, afidopyropen, was investigated toxicity against Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae). We evaluated the mortality of D. eggs, nymphs, and adults treated with afidopyropen using both laboratory-reared field populations. also quantified effects sublethal doses on feeding, host choice selection, fecundity. For laboratory susceptible adults, contact LC50, topical application LD50, leaf dip...

Abstract The earth is warming, and the frequency of extreme weather events have been rapidly growing globally with unprecedented consequences to farming communities. In principle, climate information services (WCIS) can help farmers better manage their activities farm level outcomes by supporting decision-making relevant usable address potential impacts expected changing conditions. But, in practice, availability use WCIS improve agricultural given related uncertainties? To understand impact...
