Abstract Purpose Two field experiments were conducted to examine the efficacy of orange peel waste (ORPW), olive oil processing (OLPW), and mango leaf (MLW) as aqueous extracts or soil mulches on growth, yield, bulb quality response; nutrient uptake; weed control. Methods The treatments (ORPW20%, OLPW30%, MLW30%) alone mixed with half a dose oxyfluorfen herbicide (938 ml ha −1 , ½OXYF, recommen...

grass (Mueller-Warrant and Brewster, 1986), common occurrences in grass seed fields. Seed laws and market Effective weed control was a major concern of Oregon grass seed expectations define allowable limits for weed seed congrowers during their recent transition from open-field burning to mechanical methods of managing post-harvest residues. This 4-yr herbitamination, but production efficiency ...

Weeds reduce yield competing with the tomato for nutrients, water, and light. Also, some common broadleaf weeds such as nightshade, cocklebur, pigweed are hosts to bugs, disease, viruses. Weed control herbicides is focused directly or indirectly on improving competitive ability of crop regard weeds. A field study was performed investigate pre-plant pre-emergence herbicide's efficacy cv. Alsanca...

Eleusine indica is a highly competitive and difficult-to-control plant in annual perennial crops. In Colombia, broad-spectrum herbicides, such as paraquat glyphosate, have begun to present poor levels of control for this weed. The multiple resistance glyphosate paraquat, the increase herbicide performance with adjuvants (Retenol® Trend® 90), alternative herbicides were evaluated resistant (R) p...

Combined laboratory and field research examining the possible alterations caused by herbicide treatments applied to construction materials (schist some granite, bound with mortar) in Roman wall of Lugo (NW Spain), declared a World Heritage site UNESCO 2000, was performed three separate studies past 20 years. In summers 1998 1999, herbicides glyphosate, sulphosate glufosinate–ammonium, as well p...

BACKGROUND Experimental evidence suggests pesticides may be associated with hypospadias. OBJECTIVE Examine the association of hypospadias with residential proximity to commercial agricultural pesticide applications. METHODS The study population included male infants born from 1991 to 2004 to mothers residing in 8 California counties. Cases (n = 690) were ascertained by the California Birth ...

The present study evaluated the impact of chronic herbicide (oxyfluorfen; OXY) exposure on catfish, Clarias gariepinus, in terms growth, hematobiochemical parameters, immune response, antioxidant- and immune-related gene expression, resistance to monogenean parasites, Quadriacanthus aegypticus. In addition, protective role Wormwood, Artemisia cina (AC) against OXY through diet inclusion was als...
