The effect of the herbicide isoxaben on the incorporation of radiolabeled glucose, leucine, uracil, and acetate into acid insoluble cell wall material, protein, nucleic acids, and fatty acids, respectively, was measured. Dichlobenil, cycloheximide, actinomycin D, and cerulenin, inhibitors of the incorporation of these precursors into these macromolecular components, functioned as expected, prov...

Five herbicides commonly used in rapeseed crop, canola (Brassica napus var Olifera) fields in Iran were studied with an eye to their antifungal activities against six isolates of Trichoderma species and also the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The doses tested were the same as are recommended for applications in canola crops. The results showed that the dinitro aniline herbicid...

N-nitrosamines are a class of carcinogenic chemical compound. Considering the large-scale application agrochemicals globally, elimination from pesticides should be priority for manufacturers and regulators. A set methods was developed validated determination toxicologically relevant N-nitrosamine impurity ethalfluralin (ethyl-N-(2-methylallyl) N-nitroso amine—EMANA) in 33% w v−1 emulsifiable co...

Understanding the effects of climate change on weed growth and herbicide activity is important for optimizing applications effective control in future. Therefore, this study examined how affects Amaranthus patulus efficacy soil foliar herbicides at different temperatures. Although values A. differed between temperature, increased with increasing time after treatments. Under conditions which tem...
