The newly revised 1991 EPA/USDA core manual for private and commercial applicators emphasizes safe, responsible pesticide use and includes new information about the effect of pesticides. The basic information, applicable to all certification categories, is presented in eleven separate modules containing learning objectives, defined terms, review questions and answers. This format permits replacement of individual units and reorganization of modules to meet different training needs. Topics covered include pest control principles, pesticide labeling, formulations, environmental effects and special concerns, harmful effects and emergency response, personal protective equipment, pesticide handling decisions, mixing, loading, and application, proper calibration, and transportation, storage, disposal, and spill cleanup. An extensive appendix lists the effects of pesticides on the human body.
Papers presented at the 13th Symposium on [title], held in Miami, Florida in November 1992. The subjects involve a wide range of disciplines of interest to formulators, basic pesticide manufacturers, applicators, and suppliers to the agrochemical industry. The volume is a compilation of the latest d

This two-volume set discusses recent approaches and technological innovations for sustainable agriculture in smallholder farming systems impacted by climate change. The systems covered include crop-based agricultural production, as well as aquaculture and livestock production as related systems using similar techniques to combat food security issues brought about by climate change and resource overuse. The chapters detail innovations involving crop diversification, soil resilience management, geoinformatics and land suitability monitoring for smart farming, information technology in livestock production, and nutrient resource management in fishery aquaculture. Researchers, practitioners and ...

Energy plays a key role in realizing sustainable development in both advanced and developing countries alike, and it is therefore vital that investment in technological development be sustained in order to maximize the benefits of currently available energy resources. However, the question as to how that investment should be directed is a contentious one, and involves numerous parallel questions relating to efficiency, resource availability, cost effectiveness and environmental impact, among others. Furthermore, uncertainty remains as to the extent to which technological innovation can satisfy future global energy requirements, regardless of the future energy balance. The ECSSR 18th Annual E...
How engineers in the mining and oil and gas industries attempt to reconcile competing domains of public accountability. The growing movement toward corporate social responsibility (CSR) urges corporations to promote the well-being of people and the planet rather than the sole pursuit of profit. In Extracting Accountability, Jessica Smith investigates how the public accountability of corporations emerges from the everyday practices of the engineers who work for them. Focusing on engineers who view social responsibility as central to their profession, she finds the corporate context of their work prompts them to attempt to reconcile competing domains of accountability—to formal guidelines, s...
