Abstract Air anions are molecules that have gained one or more additional electrons. While there have been several studies on the application of air anions in various fields such as air pollution, microorganisms, and plants, there has been no reported application to insects. This study explored the effects of air anions on greenhouse pests, Tetranychus urticae and Aphis gossypii, and analyzed their potential as an eco-friendly pest control method.

Abstract : This study was conducted to develop a nutrient solution for coastal glehnia, evaluate the performance of the newly developed nutrient solution, and determine an adequate electrical conductivity (EC) level for growth and bioactive compounds production in controlled environment agriculture (CEA). Coastal glehnia plants cultivated in Hoagland nutrient solution with EC 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 dS·m−1 for 20 weeks had the same ratio of cations and anions in terms of macro essential elements.
