For eight hours, maize seeds were allowed to prime in CNP concentrations (80 μg/mL). The priming techniques speed up the CNPs’ quick penetration into maize seeds and reduce their direct contact with soil bacteria by ignoring the chance of CNP seeping out into the soil. On one side of ...
However, firms are faced with the challenge of how to distribute green products to avoid mutual encroachment with brown products. To solve this problem, this paper constructs a Stackelberg game model consisting of a manufacturer (leader) and a retailer (follower), in which the manufacturer ...
