The experiment was performed in a commercial area of the Agrodoce Agricultural Group at Boracéia-SP, Brazil, during 2016 to 2018. The location of the experimental area is 22°11’ S and 48°48’ W at 480 m altitude. According to the Köppen classification, the predominant climate in the region is Cwa, which is mainly tropical humid with a […] More
Experimental conditions Dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH levels were stable around our treatment levels throughout ten rounds of experiments for Experiment 1 (max SD for DO: 0.04, max SD for pH: 0.02) and the nine rounds for Experiment 2 (max SD for DO: 0.05, max SD for pH: 0.02) (Table 1). Temperature was not directly controlled […] More

Ethics statement The sugarcane borer T. intacta larvae and adult moths were reared on artificial diet in the laboratory of Guangzhou Sugarcane Industry Research Institute (23°8′N, 113°17′E, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China). A laboratory population was kept and maintained at 27 ± 1 °C, 70 ± 10% RH, and 14:10 h L:D. The host-plant sugarcanes (ROC22) were cultivated in the experimental field […] More
The methodological framework of our study was shown in Fig. 1. We firstly reviewed air pollution control policies and measures between 2013 and 2017. We assessed the changes in exhaust emissions and ambient air pollutants during the study period. The reduction in mortality and morbidity from improved air pollution were quantified. Finally, associated economic benefit was […] More

Effect of ML on quality of barley silage during aerobic stage The pH values of the control (CK), M silage and ML silage were within the range of 3.87–3.94 after 60 days of ensiling (Table 1). When exposed to air, the pH values of the CK and M silages increased rapidly with prolonged exposure but not […] More
