Abstract
Optimizing land use composition to control nitrogen input into water bodies is one way to address surface source pollution in karst mountain regions. In this study, changes in land use, N sources, and spatial and temporal changes of N migration in the Pingzhai Reservoir watershed were evaluated from 2015 to 2021, and the relationship between land use composition and N input was elucidated. N was the main pollution in the water of the watershed; NO3- was the dominant form of N, and it did not react during migration. N came from soil, livestock manure or domestic sewage, and atmospheric deposition. Isolating the fractionation effects of source nitrogen is crucial to improve the accuracy of nitrogen and oxygen isotope traceability in the Pingzhai Reservoir. From 2015 to 2021, the grassland area in the Pingzhai Reservoir increased by 5.52%, the woodland area increased by 2.01%, the water area increased by 1.44%, the cropland decreased by 5.8%, unused land decreased by 3.18%, and construction land remained unchanged. Policies and reservoir construction were the main drivers of changes in land-use type in the catchment. Changes in land use structure affected nitrogen input patterns, with unused land having a highly significant positive correlation with inputs of NH3-N, NO2-, and TN, and construction land having a significant positive correlation with the input of NO2-. The inhibitory effect of forest and grassland on nitrogen input in the basin was offset by the promoting effect of cropland and construction land on nitrogen input, with unused land becoming a new focus area for nitrogen emissions due to a lack of environmental management. Modifying the area of different land use types in the watershed can effectively control nitrogen input to the watershed.

Abstract
There are many problems that result from the use of a large number of chemical pesticides to control plant diseases, including pathogenic bacteria resistance, environmental contamination, and human health effects. Recently, endophytic fungi have become a significant source of bioactive fungicide products and an invaluable resource for excavating microbial pesticides. In this study, endophytic fungi with biocontrol potential were isolated and screened from Mikania micrantha leaves, stems, and roots. Fifty endophytic fungi were isolated and their antagonistic activity was studied in vitro using the confrontation culture method. The J2-3 strains from stems exhibit broad-spectrum and high activity. The strain's biological characteristics were determined by various culture conditions, and it was identified as Fusarium proliferatum by both morphological and ITS sequence analysis. Biological characteristics of the J2-3 strain were also tested. The optimum temperature for mycelium growth and sporulation was 25 °C and 30 °C, respectively. For mycelium growth, starch was the optimum carbon source, and peptone was the optimum nitrogen source for sucrose, mycelium growth, and sporulation. Mycelium growth was killed by a temperature of 60 °C, and sporulation was killed by a temperature of 55 °C. The light aided mycelium growth, and the light alternated between light and dark cycles for sporulation. Further, pot experiments were conducted to determine the antagonistic and viable effects of highly antagonistic strains on cucumber. The spore suspension's final control efficacy on cucumber wilt disease was up to 62.79% and it also promoted cucumber growth significantly. The results show that the entophytic fungus J2-3 from M. micrantha can protect cucumbers from wilt disease and promote growth.

Abstract
In this case, the dissipation and residues of imidacloprid as well as its control efficacy against aphids (Aphis gossypii Glover) in cotton cropping system were reported. After the final spray at the rates of 10.5-42.5 g a.i. ha-1, the initial deposits were 0.59-2.25 mg kg-1 with half-lives of 2.12-2.84 days on leaves and 0.06-0.21 mg kg-1 with half-lives of 1.51-4.20 days in soil, respectively. The initial residues were significantly higher with longer persistence in the upper position of the leaf than in middle and lower positions. The different application dosages could induce a significant difference in the initial deposits, but not show consistent correlation with the dissipation rate. The repeated applications of imidacloprid could alter its residue levels and dissipation rates. The long-term residue concentrations of imidacloprid (60 days after the final application) reached to the nondetectable level in soil. Combined with the control efficacy results, it was considered that the recommended dose of imidacloprid on cotton could be used effectively and safe in this arid area from the view of crop protection and environmental contamination.

Abstract
Dust suppressant is widely applied to control the road dust pollution, while the unified statement on its control effect has not been obtained. To fill this gap, an experiment was conducted at four typical sites in Beijing, where dust suppressant and water were sprayed at test and control sites, respectively. Samples were collected to analyze the concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, and heavy metals. With the application of potential ecological risk index and probabilistic health risk assessment, the ecological and health risks of heavy metals were obtained. Results showed that compared with control sites, the total concentrations of heavy metals in PM10 and PM2.5 at test sites decreased by 1555.40 and 784.95 ng/m3 in 14 days, with the suppression rate of 11.95% and 12.06%. Especially, the total ecological risks of heavy metals in PM10 reduced from 165.77 to 143.64, with their ecological hazard level changed from medium to slight. The carcinogenic risks of PM2.5 and PM10 reduced by 0.60E-05 and 1.52E-06, respectively. As for the non-carcinogenic risks, there were a reduction of 5.78% and 12.28% for PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. Notably, the ecological risk of Pb was the highest; Cr and Zn contributed the most to carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk. Finally, to mitigate road dust pollution from an integration perspective, some preventive measures were proposed.

Abstract
Soybean pod borer (Leguminivora glycinivorella) is an important pest in soybean production, and chemical pesticides was major way for prevention. However, it is difficult to balance the efficiency and safety of pesticide application. In this paper, we evaluated safety and effectiveness of common insecticides (chlorpyrifos and lambda-cyhalothrin) on soybean from three aspects, including distribution, dissipation and control effect, around three major soybean production area (Anhui, Jilin and Shandong) in China. For chlorpyrifos, the initial deposition of each position (upper leaf, lower leaf, upper stem, lower stem, soybean and root) was determinated for 0.23 mg/kg to 70.7 mg/kg, and the half-lifes ranged from 1.96 days to 5.36 days. For lambda-cyhalothrin, the initial deposition of the position was determinated for 0.10 mg/kg to 2.54 mg/kg, and the half-lifes ranged from 2.45 days to 7.26 days. We found that the target insecticides were major deposition and faster degradation in upper stem and leaf. Through comparing the relationship between field control effect and residue, it can be suggested that 40% chlorpyrifos EC and 2.5% lambda-cyhalothrin WE should be sprayed at 600 g a.i./ha and 5.63 g a.i./ha for SPB prevention. This study enhanced our understanding of distribution, dissipation and relationship between residue and control effect. The results provided data support for guiding the precise and scientific application of chemical insecticides on soybean.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of schistosomiasis control in Mianyang City in ten years after Wenchuan earth-quake, so as to provide the experiences for schistosomiasis control post-disaster. METHODS The data of implementation of schistosomiasis control work in ten years after the Wenchuan earthquake were collected and analyzed for the epidemic situation of schistosomiasis in Mianyang City. Meanwhile, the awareness situation on schistosomiasis control of villagers and students was investigated by questionnaires in 2008 and 2015. RESULTS All of the 6 counties (cities, districts) with schistosomiasis endemic in Mianyang City were hit by the earthquake disaster. After the disaster, the measurements including the conventional schistosomiasis control measures, the control of exogenous infection sources, the control of Oncomelania hupensis snails, and health education were carried out. The relevant departments of schistosomiasis control were cooperated to implement the prevention and control measures. The schistosomiasis prevalence of population and the snail condition rose in the year of the earthquake, but then declined year by year. In 2015, the awareness rates of schistosomiasis control of both villagers and the students were significantly improved compared with those in 2008. CONCLUSIONS The measures of schistosomiasis control after the earthquake disaster are effective in Mianyang City, and the goal to prevent major plague after the earthquake is achieved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the schistosomiasis epidemic and control history in Jingxi City, so as to provide the evidence for improving the future work. METHODS The data of schistosomiasis prevention and control work were collected and analyzed comprehensively in Jingxi City from 1956-2015. RESULTS From 1956, the schistosomiasis prevention and control work carried out, and in 1985, Jingxi City reached the standard of schistosomiasis transmission interrupted and no local schistosome infected residents and livestock were found for 36 years. In May 2016, the city reached the national standard of Schistosomiasis Elimination Assessment Review. The cumulative number of schistosomiasis detection of residents was 348 801 person-times, and 10 434 schistosomiasis patients were found. The cumulative number of schistosomiasis detection of cattle was 20 674 head-times, and 590 schistosome infected cattle were found. The cumulative schistosomiasis treatment number of residents was 18739 person-times, and 512 cattle were treated. The cumulative detection area with Oncomelania hupensis was 65 213.25 hm2, and 353.80 hm2 area with O. hupensis snails was found. CONCLUSIONS Jingxi City has reached the standard of schistosomiasis elimination, but there is still recurrence of O. hupensis snails, and the imported infection source exists. Therefore, we should strengthen the monitoring of floating population.
