Download or read book Soil Fumigation Second Edition written by Shannah M. Whithaus and published by UCANR Publications. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fumigant is a type of pesticide that volatilizes after being applied as a solid, liquid, or liquefied gas. Soil fumigants applied into fallow ground before planting are an important part of integrated pest management programs in row crops and orchards, nursery operations, and turfgrass maintenance programs throughout California. Fumigants may be odorless and usually cannot be seen. It is important to remember that fumigants are among the most hazardous chemicals you will handle or encounter at your workplace. This book is for people who will study for an examination and apply for a Soil Fumigation Qualified Applicator License or Certificate (QAL or QAC) in California. To obtain a QAL or QAC in this category, you must pass examinations in the following areas:

• basic principles of effective pesticide use
• soil fumigation pest control
• laws and regulations

In this book, most of the laws and regulations covered are specific to soil fumigations performed in California. California’s pesticide laws provide general guidelines, and its regulations provide the specifics for how to comply.

In addition to demonstrating knowledge of the laws and regulations related to fumigant use, applicators are expected to prove that they understand:

• the proper handling and application of soil fumigants
• the human health and environmental risks of soil fumigants
• the methods used to avoid or mitigate the risks associated with soil fumigants

Download or read book Sterilisation of Biomaterials and Medical Devices written by Sophie Lerouge and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effective sterilisation of any material or device to be implanted in or used in close contact with the human body is essential for the elimination of harmful agents such as bacteria. Sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices reviews established and commonly used technologies alongside new and emerging processes.Following an introduction to the key concepts and challenges involved in sterilisation, the sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices using steam and dry heat, ionising radiation and ethylene oxide is reviewed. A range of non-traditional sterilisation techniques, such as hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, ozone and steam formaldehyde, is then discussed together with research in sterilisation and decontamination of surfaces by plasma discharges. Sterilisation techniques for polymers, drug-device products and tissue allografts are then reviewed, together with antimicrobial coatings for 'self-sterilisation' and the challenge presented by prions and endotoxins in the sterilisation of reusable medical devices. The book concludes with a discussion of future trends in the sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices.With its distinguished editors and expert team of international contributors, Sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices is an essential reference for all materials scientists, engineers and researchers within the medical devices industry. It also provides a thorough overview for academics and clinicians working in this area. - Reviews established and commonly used technologies alongside new and emerging processes - Introduces and reviews the key concepts and challenges involved in sterilisation - Discusses future trends in the sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S2The root rot caused by the fungus Fomes annosus is a serious threat to coniferous plantations throughout the North Temperate Zone. It is especially prevalent in plantations that have been thinned; and it commonly spreads through the roots from diseased trees to healthy news. In 1962-67 we conducted a series of experiments to provide preliminary information for testing the hypothesis; that a continuous band or zone of roots rendered unsuitable for invasion by F. annosus will prevent the underground spread of this fungus from diseased to healthy trees.S3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A serious problem facing museum professionals is the protection of collections from damage due to insects. This book describes successful insect eradication procedures developed at the Getty Conservation Institute and elsewhere, whereby objects are held in an atmosphere of either nitrogen or argon containing less than 1000 ppm of oxygen—a process known as anoxia—or in an atmosphere of more than 60 percent carbon dioxide. Techniques, materials, and operating parameters are described in detail. The book also discusses adoption of this preservation technology, presenting the development of these methods and instructions for building and upgrading treatment systems, as well as recent case histories. The Research in Conservation reference series presents the findings of research conducted by the Getty Conservation Institute and its individual and institutional research partners, as well as state-of-the-art reviews of conservation literature. Each volume covers a topic of current interest to conservators and conservation scientists.

Download or read book Wilted written by Julie Guthman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strawberries are big business in California. They are the sixth-highest-grossing crop in the state, which produces 88 percent of the nation’s favorite berry. Yet the industry is often criticized for its backbreaking labor conditions and dependence on highly toxic soil fumigants used to control fungal pathogens and other soilborne pests. In Wilted, Julie Guthman tells the story of how the strawberry industry came to rely on soil fumigants, and how that reliance reverberated throughout the rest of the fruit’s production system. The particular conditions of plants, soils, chemicals, climate, and laboring bodies that once made strawberry production so lucrative in the Golden State have now changed and become a set of related threats that jeopardize the future of the industry.
