Integrated pest management is the careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to human and animal health and/or the environment. (International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides, Guidelines on Highly Hazardous Pesticides, FAO, 2017 (http://www.fao.org/3/i5566en/i5566en.pdf). )
Sourdough is a stable culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a mixture of flour and water. Broadly speaking, the yeast produces gas (carbon dioxide) which leavens the dough, and the lactic acid bacteria produce lactic acid, which contributes flavor in the form of sourness.

A linear model specifies a linear relationship between a dependent variable and n independent variables: y = a0 + a1 x1 + a2 x2 + ¼+ an xn, where y is the dependent variable, {xi} are independent variables, {ai} are parameters of the model. (Statistics.com, 2024. Glossary. Linear Model. https://www.statistics.com/glossary/linear-model/)
A model in which the effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable is the same regardless of the value of the other independent variables. (Berry, William. (2005). Probit/Logit and Other Binary Models. 10.1016/B0-12-369398-5/00176-6.)
A liposome is a small artificial vesicle, spherical in shape, having at least one lipid bilayer. (Wikipedia. 2025. Liposome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liposome)
