BACKGROUND The widespread occurrence of ALS inhibitor- and glyphosate-resistant Amaranthus palmeri has led to increasing use of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO)-inhibiting herbicides in cotton and soybean. Studies were conducted to confirm resistance to fomesafen (a PPO inhibitor), determine the resistance frequency, examine the resistance profile to other foliar-applied herbicides and investig...

Weeds have been a problem creator in crops since time immemorial competing with them for all the growth resources. cause around 28-100% loss maize crop which necessitates their control. The usage of herbicides control weeds has most prominent method among farmers. However, continuous similar can develop herbicide resistance needs exploration to newer herbicides. Therefore, field experiment was ...

As the use of pesticides in agriculture is increasing at an alarming rate, food contamination by pesticide residues becoming a huge global problem. It essential to develop sensitive and user-friendly sensor device quantify trace levels herbicide samples. Herein, we report electrocatalyst made up yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12; YIG) graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) attain picomolar-level detection ...

The presence of volunteer potato Solanum tuberosum L., cutleaf nightshade, S. triflorum N., and hairy nightshade, S. physalifolium Rusby (Solanales: Solanaceae), throughout potato crop rotations can diminish the effectiveness of crop rotations designed to control disease and pest problems associated with growing potatoes. In greenhouse bioassays, larvae of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotar...

BACKGROUND L-Leu and its metabolite β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) stimulate muscle protein synthesis enhancing the phosphorylation of proteins that regulate anabolic signalling pathways. Alterations in these pathways are observed in many catabolic diseases, and HMB and L-Leu have proven their anabolic effects in in vivo and in vitro models. The aim of this study was to compare the anabolic e...

A search for clay-surfactant based formulations with high percentage of the active ingredient, which can yield slow release of active molecules is described. The active ingredients were the herbicides metribuzin (MZ), mesotrione (MS) and flurtamone (FL), whose solubilities were examined in the presence of four commercial surfactants; (i) neutral: two berols (B048, B266) and an alkylpolyglucosid...
