Herbicide mixtures are commonly used in agriculture to broaden the spectrum of weed control. The interactions or the combinations may be desirable or undesirable. Acetachlor at 150g/ha applied and ready mix application of anilofos and ethoxysulfuron at 780 g /ha provide effective control of weeds with higher grain yield. Tank mix application of metribuzin with isoproturon at 1.0 kg/ha, clodinof...

Butachlor (BUT) is a chloroacetanilide herbicide widely applied to rice paddies to control annual grass and broad-leaf weeds. A BUT-degrading bacterial strain (PK) was isolated from paddy soils. Biochemical and 16S rRNA sequencing characteristics confirmed the strain as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (99% resemblance). The isolate dissipated BUT (100 μg/mL) in an M9 liquid medium with a rate of 0.5 ± 0...

Abstract Background The chloroacetamide herbicides pretilachlor is an emerging pollutant. Due to the large amount of use, its presence in environment threatens human health. However, molecular mechanism degradation remains unknown. Results Now, Rhodococcus sp. B2 was isolated from rice field and shown degrade pretilachlor. maximum efficiency (86.1%) observed at a culture time 5 d, initial subst...
