Environmental Ethics: The Virtuous Way | Juniper Publishers

Environmental Ethics: The Virtuous Way by Carlo Alvaro in Agriculture Research & Technology: Open Access Journal | Juniper Publishers

Environmental ethics, among other things, is concerned with our attitude toward nature. By nature here I don’t mean anything other than the waters, the trees, non-human animals-the environment. It is, moreover, concerned about what Rosalind Hurst house call “the belief that a fairly radical change in the way we engage with nature is imperative.” In what follows, I want to propose a virtue-oriented approach to environmental. My aim is to begin a discussion about the potential advantages of adopting a virtue-based approach to our outlook toward the environment.There are three major ethics theories that attempt to specify and justify our moral behavior: utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics [1]. Utilitarianism (which is a form of consequentialism) has its origin in Epicureanism. However, it was Jeremy Bentham (1748-1842) and John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) who developed and refined it in the modern world. There are different kinds of utilitarianism. But essentially, utilitarianism argues that no moral act or rule is intrinsically right or wrong.

Calcium Polysulfides-Thiosulfate, Ammonium Thiosulfate, and NC-99 Blossom Thinners Impact Fruit Set of Apples, Peaches, and Plums-Juniper Publishers

  Journal of Agriculture Research -  Juniper Publishers Crop load adjustment, using blossom and/or post-bloom thinners is a crucial practice to ensure production of commercially acceptable fruit size and yield efficiency in apples and stone fruit. In a study with two apple, one peach and one plum cultivars, application of calcium polysulfides and thiosulfate mixture (lime sulfur), ammonium thiosulfate (ATS), and NC-99 (Natural-cal), applied during bloom, reduced the fruit set of apples and/or certain stone fruit. In most cases, higher concentrations or double applications of a bloom thinner resulted in more blossom thinning which led into lower fruit set. Double applications of ATS at a rate of 15 mL.L-1 or a single application of this chemical at a rate of 25 mL.L-1 resulted in adequate levels of thinning in ‘Fuji’ apple. Double applications of ATS at a rate of 25 mL.L-1 resulted in excess thinning on ‘Fuji’ apple. In ‘Gala’ apple, a single application of NC-99 at 3% or 6%, w...
