crias: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called crias.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Plant; Soil; Farmers; Growth; Production; Varieties; Days; Respondents; Wheat; Water; Use; Agricultural; Sciences; Food; Control; Ethiopia; Seed; Nigeria; Maize; View; Treatments; Change; Fruit; Table; Cassava; Cost; Species; Day; Disease; Eto; Traits; Activity; Virus; Extract; Concentration

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Evaluation of Selected Botanical Extracts against Mendi Termite Macrotermes subhyalinus (Isoptera: Termitidae), under Laboratory Condition by Kassie, Weldesenbet Beze (2019) - [12] who reported that mortality of termites, were directly proportion to botanical extract concentrations and exposure time of treatments. This study contributes to the existing literature by giving important information for farmers, government and Non-governmental developmental sectors to control Mendi Termite Macrotermes subhyalinus by using of these locally available botanical extracts alternatives rather than using synthetic pesticides because, botanical extracts have minimum mammalian toxicity and environmental influences. Keywords: concentration; exposure; extracts; hours; mortality; termites
