40 cfr 261.4(a)(10) The RCRA Exclusion from Solid Waste for Coke By-Product W...Daniels Training Services
40 CFR 261.4(a)(10) excludes Coke By-Product Wastes from regulation as a solid waste - and thus as a hazardous waste - if the requirements of the regulations are met. This presentation briefly summarizes the requirements of this RCRA exclusion from regulation.

Biological control of larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Cole...Premier Publishers
The use of synthetic insecticide has been faced with challenges of resistance among other drawbacks. This has necessitated the search for bio-pesticide that are environmentally friendly, non-toxic to humans and have a residual effect. This study evaluated the entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana for biological control of larger grain borer (LGB) Prostephanus truncatus in maize grains. Pathogenicity examination of dead adult LGB in maize grains treated with conidia of B. bassiana was done to confirm the source of LGB mortality in B. bassiana treated maize grains. Adult dead LGB were subjected to high humidity and observed for the growth of white mould (Muscadine disease), which was cultured on Potato Dextrose Agar and identified. Eighty six percent of the dead insects from treated maize grains showed fungal growth B. bassiana. Mortality of LGB generally increased with the concentration and the exposure time of the treatments. The “weight of grain dust”, “percentage of grain damaged” and “percentage of grain weight loss” were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the untreated maize kernels. Beauvaria bassiana formulation was effective in controlling LGB and is recommended for maize storage. Further studies should be conducted to test the formulation under farmer situations in order to deal with practical challenges.

The Eastern African Farmer’s Federation (EAFF), the Southern African Confederation of Agricultural Unions (SACAU), the Network of Farmers' and Agricultural Producers' Organisations of West Africa (ROPPA) and the Network of farmer’s agricultural producers of Central Africa (PROPAC) hold their 2nd Continental Briefing in Kenya on 13-14 July on Promoting inclusive finance models for farmers in Africa. Around 120 farmers, research, finance institutions discussed key areas highlighted below. This debate was amplified by an e-discussion held within the farmer’s platform which key points are also summarized below. An action plan was drawn up for the next 12 months.
