The pests that the standard seeks to control are typically insect pests and other pests and diseases vectored by insects.

Greenland shark is longest living vertebrate animal video report

They control pests, and they're food for animals.

The first documented, successful vertebrate reproduction in space involved mating and hatching Medaka fish eggs.

Scientists say the Greenland shark has the longest lifespan of any vertebrate on the planet.

I've seen his Xrays. He has a crack in the lip of the vertebrate body.

I'm glad we finally got rid of those two pests.

They're in The Guinness World Book of Records again for being the vertebrate growth champion of the world.

Today's best variety is tomorrow's lunch for insects or pests or disease.

EMPRES Emergency Prevention System for Transboundary Animal and Plant Pests and Diseases (FAO)

And even though they're used in labs to promote human lives, they're also considered pests.

Parties also suggested the need for measures to combat mud torrents, forest fires, pests and diseases.

I got them. Let's get on that plane before we get tangled up with those pests.

(h) Forest fires, pests, diseases and abiotic factors affecting forests, including storm damage and the impact of climate change

They start as little eggs, and they're in The Guinness World Book of Records again for having the most number of eggs of any vertebrate on the planet.

The African continent has benefited from the Agency's capacity building in applying SIT for the eradication of tsetse flies and other pests.

It has one research network and two technical cooperation projects on plant protection, specifically on the area wide control of insect pests.

We have provided assistance to combat epidemic diseases and overcome the effects of natural disasters including floods, droughts and infestation by locusts and other pests.

ISPM 15 is an international standard for the treatment of solid wood packaging material to prevent the spread of forest pests, specifically those attacking standing timber.

The researchers thus wrote in the paper that the Greenland shark was known as the vertebrate with the longest life span on the Earth, surpassing the age of the previous longevity champion black right whale (211 years).

Specifically, the Panel notes that Iran's approach does not take due account of changes in crop yields that may be due to the impacts of pests and diseases.

We call for the intensification of international efforts to eradicate agricultural pests, introduce low cost water desalination plants, combat desertification, and reclaim lands and render them suitable for agriculture.

And then within plant protection, I came into the discipline of biological pest control which we actually define as the use of living organisms to reduce populations of noxious plant pests.

MBTOC analysed the results and found that for all situations and all crops tested, one or more of the alternatives proved comparable to MB for the control of target pests diseases.

(o) Analyse the causes of, and address solutions to, threats to forest health and vitality from natural disasters and human activities, including threats from fire, pollution, pests, disease and invasive alien species

At TEDxTelAviv, Shimon Steinberg looks at the difference between pests and bugs and makes the case for using good bugs to fight bad bugs, avoiding chemicals in our quest for perfect produce.

Number two, many growers are in fact petrified from the idea of resistance, that the pests will become resistant to the chemicals, just in our case that bacteria becomes resistant to antibiotics.

Other major threats to forest health and productivity include those posed by fire, storms and other cataclysms, drought, air pollution, the long term effects of climate change, pests, diseases and invasive species.

According to Iraq, Saudi Arabia has merely attributed the alleged crop losses to plant pests and plant diseases with no demonstration of any link between these diseases to the oil well fires.

All the six different species rabbits, actually are all performing ecological services for one another, such that the manure of one is the lunch for the other and they take care of pests for one another.

So it turns out that the very same technology is also being used to grow new lines of corn, wheat, soybean and other crops that are highly tolerant of drought, of flood, of pests and pesticides.

Countries are also addressing the serious implications for forest health and productivity of invasive species, pests and diseases action taken includes international collaboration to reduce the risk of infestations spreading through trade and other transboundary movements.

Some 90 per cent of the population depends on subsistence farming, and three consecutive years of drought, the spread of crop pests and decreased land productivity have put some 100,000 households at risk of food insecurity.

These research results are then translated into applied research projects that lead to specific products or technologies that can be used directly by resource poor communities and commercial farmers alike for the management of pests and disease vectors.

The panel recommended that if there is an intention to include other biological agents capable of being developed as economic weapons, then certain animal pathogens should be included, as well as plant pathogens and some pests of high socio economic importance.

FAO will continue to contribute, with the use of remote sensing and GIS technology, to the development of schemes to control transboundary livestock diseases under the FAO Emergency Prevention System for Transboundary Animal and Plant Pests and Diseases (EMPRES) programme.

(d) The fact that 60 per cent of the ecosystem services examined by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment are being degraded or used unsustainably, including freshwater, capture fisheries, air and water purification and the regulation of regional and local climate, natural hazards and pests.

Expressing its deep concern at the number and scale of natural disasters, diseases and pests and their increasing impact in recent years, which have resulted in massive loss of life and livelihood and threatened agricultural production and food security, in particular in developing countries,

The bacterial genes express proteins that are toxic to corn boring insects, but that are harmless to birds, fish, and mammals, including humans. As the modified corn fends off insect pests, it also reduces the levels of the mold Fusarium, thereby reducing the levels of fumonisin.

Expressing its deep concern at the number and scale of natural disasters, diseases and agricultural pests and their increasing impact in recent years, which have resulted in a massive loss of life and livelihood and threatened agricultural production and food security, in particular in developing countries,

The number and types of impacts in this sector included productivity yield of crops, effects on soil moisture, and incidence of pests and spread of infectious diseases, as well as effects on the length of the growing season, carbon fertilization and productivity of pastures and livestock.

Supporting activities include the FAO advice on legislation and regulation to comply with international agreements regarding alien plant species, particularly the International Plant Protection Convention, and support for strengthening national plant protection services to reduce the introduction and spread of pests, including weeds, of quarantine significance.
