Hyperthermia is a condition where an individual's body temperature is elevated beyond normal due to failed thermoregulation. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia)
Biogeochemical cycle, in which inorganic nutrients move through soil, living organisms, air and water. In agriculture, it refers to the return of nutrients absorbed by plants from the soil, back to the soil. Nutrient cycling can take place through leaf fall, root exudation (secretion), residue recycling, and incorporation of green manure. (FAO, 2010. Organic Agriculture Glossary.)
Pest monitoring means checking the fields, landscapes, forests, or buildings—or other sites—to identify which pests are present, how many there are, or what damage they have caused or are causing. Correctly identifying the pest is key to knowing whether a pest is likely to become a problem and determining the best management strategy. (Yang, P. & Ou, Y. 2023. Guide for monitoring and evaluation of the public agricultural extension and advisory service system. Rome, FAO. https://doi.org/10.4060/cc4014en)
Note
Pest monitoring focuses on managing pest populations and impacts in a specific area, whereas pest surveillance aims at detecting and managing pest threats on a larger scale.
Capsicum L. (tribe Capsiceae, Solanaceae) is an American genus distributed ranging from the southern United States of America to central Argentina and Brazil. The genus includes chili peppers, bell peppers, ajíes, habaneros, jalapeños, ulupicas and pimientos, well known for their economic importance around the globe. (Barboza GE, García CC, Bianchetti LB, Romero MV, Scaldaferro M (2022) Monograph of wild and cultivated chili peppers (Capsicum L., Solanaceae). PhytoKeys 200: 1-423. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.200.71667)
Note
Chillies and green peppers are included in statistics on vegetables when they are harvested for consumption as vegetables and not processed into spices.
A crusher is a machine, where inside the process zone the macroprocess “crushing” occurs. (Unland, Georg. (2007). Chapter 4 The Principles of Single-Particle Crushing. Handbook of Powder Technology. 12. 10.1016/S0167-3785(07)12007-8.)
Note
Crushers are installed in processing plants for various reasons. The most common application is to produce a certain product size distribution or upper size for requirements of a special market or subsequent machines. Crushers are also used in agriculture, such as stone crushers, grain crushers, and sugar cane crushers.
A fee or tax imposed on fishing activities, typically by a government or governing body. It is a financial charge levied on individuals or entities engaged in fishing, and the revenue generated from the levy is often used to support various initiatives related to fisheries management, conservation, and the sustainable development of fishing industries.
