Soil-borne pathogens (SBPs) significantly reduce the yield and quality of crops worldwide. In the past, their control was principally accomplished by using soil fumigants such as methyl bromide (MB). However, this fumigant which is a powerful ozone-depleting substance, has completely been phased out under the Montreal Protocol (MP). New chemicals and non-chemical alternatives to MB, including biofumigation, have been actively researched, developed, and commercially adopted worldwide. This review seeks to provide the status of biofumigation for the control of SBPs in some non-temperate climate zones referred to in this paper as Article 5 countries or developing countries according to the Montreal Protocol (MP) classification. The review will first define “the non-temperate climate zone,” list the countries belonging to this zone, focus on the role and importance of the MP in phasing-out MB, and in searching and commercially adopting alternatives including biofumigation to this fumigant. It also describes the biofumigation techniques reported and used, reports its efficacy/inefficacy to manage SBPs in some non-climate temperate countries, insists on the place it must have in an IPM program to increase its efficacy, and finally, lists the collaboration and the research needed to further develop and commercially adopt this technology in non-temperate climate countries.

The fumigant pesticide methyl bromide (MB) was used for stored products, but it is now banned for most uses in many countries as an ozone-depleting substance. MB was the only pesticide used to manage the ham mite, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, which is the most significant pest of dry cured hams. Effective alternatives to MB are needed to develop integrated pest management (IPM) programs for this pest. This study evaluated plant essential oils and food-safe compounds as repellents to directly protect hams from infestation. Experiments to assess the repellency to orientation, oviposition, and population growth of mites on pieces of aged country hams were conducted. Test compounds at different concentrations were dissolved in respective solvents and compared to the solvent control. Results showed that C8910, a mixture of three short-chain fatty acids, and the sesquiterpene ketone nootkatone had repellency indices of (RI) of 85.6% and 82.3%, respectively, at a concentration of 0.1 mg/cm2, when applied to a Petri dish arena. DEET and icaridin were also tested but performed poorly with RIs below 70% even at 0.1 mg/cm2.The monoterpene alcohol geraniol had the highest RI of 96.3% at 0.04 mg/cm2. Ham pieces dipped in C8910 and nootkatone at 150 ppm each had RIs of 89.3% and 82.8%, respectively. In general, as the concentrations of test compounds increased, the numbers of eggs that were laid on these treated ham cubes decreased after the 48 h exposure time. Ham pieces dipped in different concentrations of test compounds and then inoculated with 20 adult mites showed a significant decrease in mite population growth compared to control pieces after 14 days. The results of these experiments suggest that some plant secondary metabolites and synthetic food-safe compounds could serve as potential alternatives for managing mites on hams.

Utilization of Cement in any nation is straightforwardly identified with the nation's foundation and along these lines development in deciding the improvement of the country. India is the second biggest maker of concrete on the planet. Creation of Portland concrete not just deliveries 7% of the World's carbon dioxide, the concrete business likewise utilizes a great deal of characteristic property like limestone, earth, oil, coal and different substances to save the common assets and to lessen the contamination because of the creation of concrete is by prohibitive the concrete substance in the solid without bargaining the strength. Concrete has a negative effect over Environmental, in light of the fact that at the hour of assembling it radiates about a huge load of ozone harming substance (CO2) into the air for each huge load of concrete manufactured.There were endeavors before to incompletely supplant concrete in concrete with new mixtures and industry results.

Abstract. The microbial by-product nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas and ozone depleting substance, has conventionally been assumed to have minimal emissions in permafrost regions. This assumption has been questioned by recent in situ studies demonstrating that, in fact, some geologic features in permafrost may have elevated emissions comparable to those of tropical soils. These recent studies, however, along with every known in situ study focused on permafrost N2O fluxes, have used chambers to examine small areas (

The results of observations of total ozone content (TOC) at the Russian Antarctic stations Mirny (66° 34′ N, 93° 01′ E), Novolazarevskaya (70° 46′ S, 11° 50′ E) and Vostok (78° 38′ S, 106° 52′ E) from 1975 to 2017 are presented. Measurements were carried out by filters ozonemeters M-83/M-124. Throughout this period, there have been steady decreases in TOC in spring time. Early 1990s, the average TOC in September and October at Mirny decreased by 70–75 % of its average values for 1975–1980. The effect of the ozone hole and its intensity depend on ozone-depleting substance (ODS) levels, the dynamical processes and variations of temperature in the stratosphere. Considering the slow rate of decrease ODSs concentration, changes in size and depth of ozone hole have been mainly controlled by variations in temperature and dynamical processes. The destruction of the stratospheric circumpolar vortex early spring of 1988 was the reason that the spring negative anomaly of the TOC was not formed at all. A sharp increase of temperature in the stratosphere in the spring of 2002 was accompanied by an increase in the TOC. It led to reduction in the size of the “ozone hole” and even its dividing into two parts at the end of September. Since the early 2000s, there has been a tendency to return the TOC to the values observed in 1970s and to increase its interannual variability in comparison to 1990s.
