Optimización de tecnologías de construcción sostenible para mejorar tiempos y costos en la construcción ejemplos de comunidades rurales en América Latina
Authors: Salazar Altamirano Pablo Andrés
Published: August 2024

Este estudio examinó la optimización de tecnologías de construcción sostenible para mejorar tiempos y costos en comunidades rurales de América Latina. Se utilizó un enfoque metodológico mixto que combinó revisión sistemática de literatura, análisis de datos secundarios y modelado de optimización. Los resultados revelaron que la integración de materiales locales, como el bambú y la tierra compactada, con sistemas prefabricados y tecnologías de energía renovable, mostró el mayor potencial para reducir tiempos y costos de construcción. En particular, el uso de bambú permitió una reducción de costos de hasta un 40%, mientras que los sistemas prefabricados lograron disminuir los tiempos de construcción en un 50%. Además, se identificó que la implementación de tecnologías de energía renovable puede reducir los costos operativos de las viviendas en hasta un 60% a lo largo de su ciclo de vida. El modelo de optimización desarrollado indicó que la combinación integral de estas tecnologías podría alcanzar reducciones de costos de hasta un 55% y de tiempos de hasta un 65%. Sin embargo, se encontraron barreras significativas, como la falta de conocimiento técnico y la resistencia al cambio en las comunidades locales. Este estudio concluye que la optimización de tecnologías de construcción sostenible en comunidades rurales de América Latina tiene un potencial significativo para mejorar la eficiencia en términos de tiempo y costo, pero requiere un enfoque contextualizado que considere las particularidades socioculturales y económicas de cada región.

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Tinospora Crispa (TC) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality and nutrient utilizability of hybrid chickens. Ten chicks were randomly distributed into each replicate pen (4 pens/treatment) at 30 day of age. Four treatment were randomly selected. TC at the level of 0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% were supplemented with commercial diet as T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Control (T4) was fed commercial diet 100%. This study was carried out for total of 90 day. The result shown that final bodyweight of chicken from 45 day of age affected by TC (p<0.001). In contrast, bodyweight of chicken under day of age and overall feed intake did not affected (p>0.05), and overall bodyweight gain decreasing by increasing TC levels (p = 0.001). However, this study was shown that mortality, characteristics of external organs and feed per gain not differ (p>0.05). Internal organs, raw meat and cooked meat sensory were differ (p<0.05). Consumers accepted the smell of raw meat and color of cooked meat of T1, T2 and T3 much better than T4 (p<0.001). In conclusion, this study shown that TC does not affected growth performance and external organs, but it is good improving in internal organ, meat quality and nutrient utilizability of hybrid chicken. Further study with varied levels and other related factors are needs to concern for finding more accurate results.

Published: August 2024

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Pangkalpinang are crucial contributors to the local economy, especially in the post-tin mining era, by driving economic diversification and regional development. This research delves into the role of the creative economy in fostering sustainable tourism during this transitional period. Through a qualitative approach, the study employs the SWOT analysis framework to assess the development of MSMEs and their connection to sustainable tourism in Pangkalpinang. The strengths of these MSMEs are evident in their distinctive product offerings, robust stakeholder networks, and the recognition and certifications they have attained. These elements position them well within the market. However, they face notable internal challenges, including limited resources, technological constraints, and financial difficulties, which hinder their growth potential. Externally, MSMEs in Pangkalpinang contend with high economic inflation, stiff competition from larger retail entities, and shifting consumer preferences driven by economic downturns. These factors create a challenging environment for MSMEs to thrive. Despite these challenges, there are significant opportunities for growth. MSMEs can capitalize on product diversification, which allows them to cater to a broader range of consumer needs. Additionally, there is substantial support from the government and various institutions, which can provide the necessary backing for these enterprises. Aligning their business models with sustainable tourism trends also presents a promising avenue for long-term success. By leveraging these opportunities, MSMEs in Pangkalpinang can enhance their resilience and contribute meaningfully to sustainable regional development in the post-mining era.

Published: August 2024

O presente estudo aborda os aspectos históricos das polícias militares do Brasil, e principalmente da polícia militar do Paraná, apresenta sua estrutura, funções e perfil do profissional integrante da instituição (PMPR). Como órgão regido pelo militarismo, faz referência a previsão Constitucional que ainda mantém polícia militar como força auxiliar e reserva do Exército, cabendo às funções de polícia administrativa, ou seja, policiamento ostensivo preventivo fardado, sendo dessa forma responsável por oferecer uma sensação de segurança, com o dever de patrulhar as ruas das cidades, para inibir e evitar a ação de criminosos, e quando não puder prevenir, prender o infrator logo após a prática do crime. O objetivo é estabelecer uma crítica construtiva e conscientização dos integrantes da Polícia Militar do Paraná, alertar os chefes militares, os administradores e sobretudo os legisladores sobre as mudanças de paradigmas relacionados ao modo de atuação pós Constituição Federal de 88, seja no âmbito interno (hierarquia e disciplina, rígidas), ou, no externo (atendimento ao público, policiamento ostensivo). Por ser esta profissão considerada uma das mais estressantes, em razão grande responsabilidade e cobrança por parte da sociedade, bem como da própria instituição, o estudo volta-se a avaliar à necessidade de reestruturação da Polícia Militar, seja quanto à aplicação de normas e regulamentos rígidos, divisão interna de funções, à formação e ao treinamento dos policiais. Quanto ao sistema hierárquico da Corporação, a rigidez a ser substituída por maior autonomia para o policial, acompanhada de maior controle da sociedade e transparência nas respectivas atuações. Nesse sentido, efetivar a aplicação dos conceitos da Filosofia de Polícia Comunitária, implantado na PMPR, há vários anos.

Published: August 2024

The term "transgender" encompasses diverse gender identities, including those where identity differs from the sex assigned at birth (trans men, trans women, non-binary individuals, gender-fluid persons, among others). Hormone therapy and gender affirmation surgeries are crucial to aligning the body with the desired gender identity, with trans men receiving testosterone therapy and trans women receiving estradiol, often accompanied by gender affirmation surgeries (GAS). Beyond medical and surgical care, mental health care is essential; hence, gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) must be monitored by a multidisciplinary team (including endocrinologists, gynecologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, among others). Transgender individuals face significant barriers to accessing healthcare services, including long waiting times in public health systems, high costs in private clinics, and legal challenges for document changes. Discrimination and prejudice also pose obstacles, particularly for trans women, who encounter specific challenges such as limited access to HIV/AIDS treatment. Additionally, societal taboos and lack of awareness contribute to treatment abandonment and the pursuit of cheaper and less safe clandestine treatments. This article reviews the necessary measures for gender transition, emphasizing the importance of specialized medical and psychosocial support. Properly administered hormone therapy can significantly improve the quality of life for trans women and travestis, facilitating greater harmony with their gender identity.

Authors: Tavares Edilson da Costa
Published: August 2024

Gentrificação, um processo complexo relacionado ao turismo, cruza-se com a segregação socioespacial e educacional, emergindo como um fenômeno complexo e preocupante, criando a necessidade de um estudo aprofundado e contextualizado. Dessarte,  este estudo se propõe a analisar o tema no contexto brasileiro, buscando entender como a gentrificação tem agravado as divisões entre os diferentes grupos sociais, prejudicado o acesso à educação e levado famílias de baixa renda para as periferias. A essência dessa problemática reside na compreensão dos mecanismos pelos quais a gentrificação afeta a estruturação socioespacial das cidades brasileiras e interfere nos sistemas educacionais locais. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa visa não apenas diagnosticar os desafios impostos por esse fenômeno, mas também apresentar estratégias e políticas públicas que promovam a equidade e a inclusão social. Inicialmente, discute-se o conceito de gentrificação e suas principais características, seguido por uma análise das formas como a gentrificação contribui para a segregação socioespacial e educacional nas cidades brasileiras. São abordados casos específicos de gentrificação em diferentes regiões do Brasil, destacando suas implicações para a distribuição desigual de recursos e oportunidades educacionais. Além disso, são discutidas políticas públicas e estratégias de intervenção necessárias para mitigar os efeitos negativos da gentrificação e promover uma maior equidade sócio espacial e educacional. Para tal será feito uma revisão de literatura, examinando estudos sobre o tema publicados a priori; estudo de caso, selecionando cidades brasileiras gentrificadas para análise de como ocorreu o fenômeno e suas consequências e; finalmente, uma análise qualitativa, avaliando padrões de gentrificação e segregação nestas cidades. Através desse enfoque multidisciplinar, busca-se não apenas diagnosticar os desafios impostos por esse fenômeno, mas também contribuir com informações para o desenvolvimento de abordagens mais inclusivas e equitativas no planejamento urbano e na promoção da educação no contexto brasileiro que possam ajudar a minimizar as segregações aqui discutidas, assim, servindo de base para estudos futuros mais aprofundados sobre o tema proposto.

From AI imaginaries to AI literacy
Authors: Sūna Laura , Hoffmann Dagmar
Published: August 2024

Based on the results of a qualitative study on how migrants experience technologies of automation in everyday life, the article describes users’ imaginaries of artificial intelligence as the overall technology behind different digital media applications. This encompasses the subjective idea of users about what AI technology is, what it can do, and what it should do. All respondents share a general understanding of AI as a feeling and awareness that the technology has its own logic of some kind, as articulated in recommendation algorithms on TikTok, YouTube or Netflix, language correction on WhatsApp or email programs, translation apps, but also in voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Siri. By analytically linking the two concepts of AI imaginaries and AI literacy, a perspective is developed that focuses on culturally-shaped ideas about technology and the subjectively perceived agency is thus analyzed in the context of the technologies of automation.
Knowledge production and epistemic injustices
Authors: Zermeño-Flores Ana Isabel , Tufte Thomas , Navarrete-Vega Mabel Andrea
Published: August 2024

This article explores the complexities emerging from the knowing subject engaging in knowledge generation through artificial intelligence and digital technologies. By exploring a recent literature review as our case study, the possible existence of biases that may distort the studied reality and generate epistemic inequalities is investigated. A reflexive approach drawn from decolonial and feminist perspectives is applied. Findings underline the presence of epistemic biases, such as the invisibility of the knowing subject and knowledge representation, indicating that they are not simple isolated biases but part of a systemic problem that transcends specific scientific and technological practices. Ultimately, the complexity leading to epistemic biases is highlighted, encompassing interconnected systems, including the scientific, technological, and institutional.
The gendered dress of DALL-E 2: Exploring profession-based images in the Indian context
Authors: Mubashir Musthafa
Published: August 2024

This study delves into the intricate realm of gender and artificial intelligence (AI) through an examination of DALL-E 2 generated images within the Indian context. The study takes a methodological approach that focuses on assessing images generated in response to prompts such as ‘a farmer cultivating crops in rural Punjab’ or ‘a nurse providing care in a hospital in Delhi’ to reveal the dynamics of gender performativity within profession-based visual content. The generated images were analysed using the dress as a phenomenon to visualise Indian man, Indian woman and ambiguous Indian. The study concludes that DALL-E 2’s algorithm reiterates the binary gender norms leaving no space for ambiguous Indian in its responses. Though the generated image is centred on female professions, it is largely employed by male surroundings. Hindu religious symbols are largely used among male professionals denoting its predominance. In its aesthetics, the individuals portrayed exhibit a brown complexion, echoing the demographic landscape irrespective of gender.
Absent Algorithm
Authors: Bagger Christoffer

If your medium is shaped by an algorithm, then what reason would you have to hide it? This article explores the topic of how the algorithmic shaping of communication on enterprise social media (ESM) is in turn communicated by platform developers to potential customer organizations. Specifically, the article analyzes how this topic is usually not discussed and why. As a case study, the author performs a qualitative analysis of the corporate communication surrounding the ESM Workplace from Meta, analyzing the 23 podcast episodes and 123 online videos produced by Meta on this topic. The case is selected due to the prolific discussion of algorithmic curation in other Meta products, and the presence of such algorithmic underpinnings on Workplace itself. Despite this, Meta’s emphasis is usually on more explicit examples of artificial intelligence in the form of communicative bots, and especially on how these may circumvent algorithmically curated or individualized communication patterns of employees. Drawing on critical management and organizational studies, the author discusses possible explanations relating to the distribution of power between organizations and platforms.
To use or not to use artificial intelligence, that is the question
Authors: Baptista Raphaël , Belim Célia
Published: August 2024

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly increasing, reshaping both society and organizational landscapes. This transformative trend has inevitably reached strategic communication professionals, leading to various perceptions about its application in this field. This study explores these perceptions of uses and gratifications, perspectives on the influence of AI, as well as the practices of professionals operating in Portugal in the mentioned areas regarding the integration of AI into the exercise of their professions. The study employed a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews to collect data from communication professionals. The results from 21 interviews indicate a greater awareness of AI integration, especially after the launch of ChatGPT, and automated content generation as one of the biggest uses of AI. Although most respondents expressed favorable inclinations towards AI integration, some reservations persist related to replacing human expertise and creating dependency. The recommendations underline the imperative to train professionals to mitigate AI-related drawbacks, maintain a symbiotic relationship between AI and humans, and uphold ethical standards.
“I felt like it was the right thing to do”: How college students’ decisions to disclose COVID-19 diagnoses reflect privacy preferences, perceptions of stigma, and cultural norms
Authors: LaFreniere Jenna , Bedor Hiland Emma
Published: August 2024

Background: COVID-19 diagnoses can be difficult to share, as COVID-19 faces ongoing stigmatization. Aim: Framed by communication privacy management theory, this study examines how college students make decisions to disclose their COVID-19-positive statuses (or why they may not), and how those decisions are affected by perceptions of stigma and cultural norms. Methods: This study utilizes a qualitative, interview-based methodology with twenty undergraduate student participants. Results: Responses are analyzed for themes relating to communication privacy management, noting information control and co-ownership, boundary coordination, and forced/required disclosures. Responses demonstrate that a stigmatized view of COVID-19 has largely subsided, but still affects disclosure preferences and decisions. In addition, several cultural factors also shape beliefs about disclosure practices. Discussion: These findings illuminate how perceptions of COVID-19’s stigma and cultural norms shape college students’ notions of privacy, information control, co-ownership, and ultimately disclosure practices. Highlighting implications for how best to respond to future pandemics, the data presented herein provides an exploration of the relationship between privacy strategies, stigmatization beliefs, and cultural norms. Conclusion: This information will be useful in generating institutional, education, and public health responses to future pandemics, as findings suggest an under-theorized relationship between the areas of privacy management, stigmatization, and cultural norms.

Published: August 2024

O Planejamento de Requisitos de Materiais (Material Requirements Planning - MRP) é uma abordagem utilizada por empresas para auxiliar na compra de materiais destinados à fabricação de componentes, bem como na montagem destes em produtos acabados. Sua função é organizar os produtos de modo que eles estejam sempre disponíveis no momento em que forem necessários para a confecção. A compra ou a produção de itens em grandes quantidades gera economias para os fabricantes, provenientes do transporte, da configuração das máquinas, de descontos pela compra de cargas fechadas, ou ainda, na rotina da operação; esse conceito é conhecido como Economia de Escala. Este trabalho apresenta um modelo matemático para o MRP com diferentes faixas de preços por produtos, visando avaliar se e quando é vantajoso para as empresas adquirir lotes maiores de produtos. Para resolver a formulação apresentada, é utilizada a heurística Fix-and-Optimize, que conta com sete formas de decomposição, onde parte das variáveis são fixadas interativamente. Além disso, para avaliar a eficiência do método, o modelo foi aplicado a um Centro de Distribuição do setor varejista, abrangendo 6288 produtos em um horizonte de atendimento de 30 dias.

Aims: The present study was conducted in four different districts of Chhattisgarh, viz. Durg, Raipur, Rajnandgaon and Dhamtari, to study the prevalence of E. coli associated diarrhoea in goats.
Study Design:  Field study.
Place and Duration of Study: Faecal samples from diarrhoeic goats were collected from 04 different districts of Chhattisgarh (Durg, Raipur, Rajnandgaon and Dhamtari) during June 2023 to May 2024.
Methodology: A total of 200 faecal samples were collected from diarrhoeic goats and screened for the presence of E. coli. The faecal samples were processed for microbiological isolation and identification of E. coli isolates based on the cultural, morphological and biochemical characteristics.
Results: The overall prevalence of E. coli associated diarrhoea in goats was 72% (n = 144/200). The study indicated a higher prevalence in Dhamtari (32.64%), while the least prevalence was recorded in Rajnandgaon (16.67%). Younger goats (57.64%) were more frequently affected as compared to adult ones (42.36%). The study also revealed a greater prevalence in female goats (61.11%) than male goats (38.89%). E. coli was more prevalent in diarrhoeic goats, during the summer season (45.83%), followed by rainy season (32.64%) and winter season (21.53%). Based on breed, the higher prevalence was observed in the Anjori breed (35.42%). Goats reared with poor hygienic conditions (54.86%) were more commonly affected than goats reared under moderate (34.03%) and good (11.11%) hygienic conditions.
Conclusion: The study concludes that E. coli associated diarrhoea is highly prevalent among goats, affecting 72% of those tested. Younger and female goats, particularly in Dhamtari and reared under poor hygiene, were most commonly affected. Seasonal variations also revealed a higher prevalence in summer season. Further studies are warranted in relation to the various serotypes and zoonotic potential of E. coli responsible for diarrhoea in goats. Possible variations in more diverse geographic zones need to be explored to propose an effective control and preventive protocol against E. coli associated diarrhoea in goats, which will eventually reduce the loss in terms of health and production in goats as well as the financial losses caused to the goat rearers.

Integrated Farming System (IFS) represented a holistic approach to managing farm resources, aimed at boosting productivity, minimizing environmental impact, enhancing incomes for resource-poor farmers, and ensuring agricultural sustainability. Multi-stage random sampling technique was used, beginning with Ballari district, followed by selecting one taluk with the highest net sown area, and then two villages within that taluk. From each village, 10 IFS and 10 non-IFS farmers were randomly selected, totaling 40 farmers. This study analyzed the costs and returns of major IFS and non-IFS practices in Ballari district, Karnataka. Data were collected from 40 farmers in two villages within Ballari taluk during the agricultural year 2017-18 and were analyzed using tabular and budgeting methods. The results revealed that farmers in the area used three distinct farming systems: IFS-I (Crop + Dairy), IFS-II (Crop + Dairy + Small Ruminants), and Non-IFS (Crop only). Major crops included paddy, dry chili, cotton, and jowar. The analysis showed that IFS-II, which integrated crops, dairy, and small ruminants, generated the highest net returns at ₹1,57,220.04, followed by IFS-I with ₹1,35,625.20, and Non-IFS with ₹60,698.11. To maximize benefits, there was a need to promote IFS-II more widely among farmers. Efforts were suggested through Raitha Samparka Kendra (RSK) and Krishi Vigyana Kendra (KVK) to advocate for IFS adoption, thereby enabling more efficient use of farm resources and improving productivity and profitability for farming households.

A field trial was carried out in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand, India, during the Kharif season to evaluate the performance of maize varieties using various planting methods. The study included five distinct planting techniques: Flat, Bed, Ridgetop, Ridge mid-slope and Broad Ridge mid-slope both sides. Two maize varieties were tested: the composite PSM-1 and the hybrid DKC 9144. Results showed that the Broad Ridge mid-slope on both sides method led to the highest growth parameters, including; plant height, stem girth and dry matter accumulation per plant. During both the years, the Broad Ridge mid-slope planting method led to notable increase in plant height (7% and 6.1%), stem girth (5.25 & 4.67 cm) and dry matter accumulation (13.6% & 20.7%) respectively when compared to the flat planting method. Among the varieties, the hybrid DKC 9144 exhibited greater height, stem girth, more dry matter accumulation, grain and stover yields compared to the composite PSM-1. The findings suggest that the broad ridge mid-slope planting method, and hybrid variety DKC 9144, was the most effective and viable strategy for Kharif maize production in tarai region.

Aim: To investigate the prevalence and determine profile of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among older adults attended at the first level of care and the possible factors associated with MCI.
Study Design: Observational, cross-sectional and analytical study.
Methodology: The study was conducted with Mexican patients attending the outpatient consultation of the Gerontology Speciality at the Family Medicine Clinic “División del Norte” (an Ambulatory Care Medical Unit), in Mexico City. Data was collected through a protective design using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test and a structured survey on sociodemographic factors. A descriptive statistical analysis and univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were performed.
Results: The median age was 72 years old (IQR=66-78 years). The youngest participant was 60 years old and the oldest was 93 years old (range=33 years). The elderly population with MCI are female, septuagenarian, with a basic level of education. The prevalence of MCI was 28%, and 18% for dementia. The factors that increase the risk of MCI are: age (OR=1.072, 95% CI 1.034-1.111), hypertriglyceridemia (OR=13.709, 95%CI 1.267-148.294), peptic ulcer disease (OR=5.92, 95%CI 1.009-34.719), glaucoma (OR=4.048, 95%CI 1.051-15.596), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR=5.616, 95%CI 1.024-30.802), and asthma (OR=12.323, 95%CI 1.128-134.578). The high educational level was associated as a protective factor (OR=0.336, 95%CI 0.189-0.596).
Conclusion: Prevention programmes are necessary to avoid MCI, along with interventions to improve patients' quality of life, and the promotion of educational and engaging activities to support cognitive health in elderly people.

Biodiversity is an essential support system consisting of humans, organisms, animals, etc., interacting with each other to maintain a balanced life on Earth. It is important for all the living organisms on the Earth to sustain a natural world. It consists of diverse forms of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, etc. Among the components of biodiversity, plants are the important element that assists the other life forms. Diversifying the plants through various agricultural practices should be taken as prima facia in the changing environmental conditions. To enhance the productivity and sustainable development in agriculture, Indigenous knowledge of the farmers acts as a keystone in agriculture. It is a unique and traditional character of a group of people residing at a particular place. It is considered an essential human capital but often overlooked and unexplored. Various local practices have developed over time, which have been innovated, tested, and adapted since time immemorial. These practices are non-scientific, developed through various trial and error methods, location-specific, and dynamic. Various practices that are followed in the states of India are the Panikheti system, Apatani, Dafla in Andhra Pradesh, Boro, dimasa techniques in Assam, Kanaja technique in Karnataka, Bidd cultivation in Rajasthan, etc. Local people feel a connection with their environment and try to develop practices that are non-harming and conserving in nature. The role of indigenous people and their knowledge have been mainly contributing to preserving biodiversity for a long time. They try to interact with their local environment to keep them immaculate. The diversity of various plants and crops is maintained with the efforts of the indigenous people and their knowledge, which ultimately assures improving food security and helps adapt the changing climate. According to an estimate, 75 percent of the diversity of the crop was lost between the years 1900 and 2000 when the local seed varieties were replaced, and modern varieties were grown. To solve this issue, spending millions of dollars cannot be the solution, but focusing on applying the knowledge of indigenous people in the modern-day world would be of great help as they have developed improved, tested varieties over the years, which can sustain in the changing environment. The invaluable resource of the country in the form of indigenous knowledge is disappearing fast; hence, measures need to be taken in their favor to sustain biodiversity and maintain food security.

Published: August 2024

Rice sheath blight is one of the most economically important rice diseases in the world. Sheath blight, a soil-borne disease caused by the fungus Rhizoctoniasolani AG1-IA (Teleomorph: Thanatephoruscucumeris (Frank) Donk), is a devastating disease.  The disease leads to a significant drop in grain yield and quality and yield losses of up to 50% have been reported under the most favorable circumstances. Despite farmers' chemical control measures against the disease, pathogen causes serious early crop losses every year. KVK Srikakulam conducted on farm trials on Sheath blight management in paddy fields to inform farmers about new and highly effective chemicals during Kharif, 2020 and 2021. A recent new chemical, Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% (T1) at 1.5 ml/l was effective in reducing the incidence of the disease, recorded 88.2% and 81% disease incidence during 2020 and 2021, respectively. Trifloxystrobin 11% + tebuconazole 75% (T2) at 0.4 g/l was also comparable to T1, registering disease incidence of 82% and 75% in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Whereas, in the Propiconazole 11.4% @ 1.0ml/l treatment (Farmers method), the incidence in 2020 was only 67.0% and the incidence in 2021 was 65.0%. Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% treated plots produced higher yields compared to farmers' practices. Although the chemical is more expensive than what farmers typically use, disease incidence is significantly reduced after just one spray and results in higher product yields.
