Pesticide use
A 1985 University of Illinois pesticide-use survey estimated that of 11.7 million acres of Illinois cropland
planted to corn, 99 percent were treated with herbicides and 44 percent were treated with insecticides. Of
an estimated 9 million acres of soybean cropland, 97 percent were treated with herbicides and 1 percent
were treated with insecticides. Annual pesticide usage was estimated at more than 49 million pounds of
active ingredients.

The document discusses weed management and control. It defines weed management as manipulating weeds so they do not interfere with crop growth. Weed control refers to actions that restrict weed spread and reduce populations. Weed prevention excludes new weed problems, while eradication completely removes weeds. Methods of control include cultural, biological, chemical and integrated approaches. Chemical weed control uses herbicides and was popularized by lower labor needs compared to manual control. Herbicides are classified based on application time, plant effects, and chemistry. Proper formulation improves herbicide handling, efficacy and safety.

Integrated Pest Management
The document discusses Integrated Pest Management (IPM). It provides a brief history of IPM, noting that the concept originated in California in the 1940s and was adopted as national policy by the US in the 1970s. The basic components of an IPM system are then outlined as monitoring pest levels, preventative cultural practices, mechanical and biological controls, and responsible pesticide use. Requirements of IPM include reducing impacts of pesticides on human health and ecosystems through alternatives such as cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical methods.
Biopesticides
Plant extracts and bacteria like Bacillus thuringiensis were among the earliest biopesticides. While biopesticides saw limited use with the rise of chemical pesticides, there are now over 245 registered biopesticide ingredients. Biopesticides are generally less toxic than chemical pesticides and often affect only the target pest. They can be effective in small amounts but require knowledgeable application as part of integrated pest management. Common biopesticides are derived from bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, yeasts, and plants.

Biological Pest Control/ Biological Control System
Biological control or biocontrol is a method of controlling pests such as insects, mites, weeds and plant diseases using other organisms.[1] It relies on predation, parasitism, herbivory, or other natural mechanisms, but typically also involves an active human management role. It can be an important component of integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
There are three basic strategies for biological pest control: classical (importation), where a natural enemy of a pest is introduced in the hope of achieving control; inductive (augmentation), in which a large population of natural enemies are administered for quick pest control; and inoculative (conservation), in which measures are taken to maintain natural enemies through regular reestablishment.[2]
Natural enemies of insect pests, also known as biological control agents, include predators, parasitoids, pathogens, and competitors. Biological control agents of plant diseases are most often referred to as antagonists. Biological control agents of weeds include seed predators, herbivores and plant pathogens.
Biological control can have side-effects on biodiversity through attacks on non-target species by any of the same mechanisms, especially when a species is introduced without thorough understanding of the possible consequences.

Teasel: Why is it Here and How Do We Get Rid
Teasel is an invasive weed introduced from Europe that has spread throughout parts of the Midwest United States. It produces large numbers of seeds and has a deep taproot that allows it to outcompete other plants. Studies examined teasel's growth cycle, seed production, effects of mowing and herbicides, and use of remote sensing to map populations. Results showed that teasel can produce over 30,000 seeds per plant, mowing below 12 cm prevents flowering, and herbicides combined with seeding desirable grasses provided the most effective control strategy. Ongoing management is needed as teasel populations have proven resilient over decades of control efforts.
Sericea lespedeza
Sericea lespedeza is a perennial legume native to eastern Asia that was introduced to the US in the late 1800s as a potential forage species and for erosion control. It has since become a problematic invasive weed in many states. It grows 2-4 feet tall with hairy stems and leaves and produces abundant purple flowers and yellow-red seeds. While it can fix nitrogen and tolerate drought and flooding, its high tannin levels make it unpalatable to cattle. Chemical herbicides, especially triclopyr and fluroxypyr, are most effective at controlling it if applied before flowering, though multiple annual treatments are typically needed for eradication due to its large seed bank.
Control of Reed Canary Grass

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
