Compatibility of the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae with representative pesticides, plant oils and a fungal antagonist were studied in vitro. The pesticides tested were: endosulfan, acephate, abamectin, ethion, chlorothalonil, iprodion + carbendazim, thiophanate methyl and dinocap, an antagonist, Trichoderma harzianum and the plant oils: coconut oil, groundnut oil, gingili oil,...

The honey bee is economically significant insect and plays an important role in the pollination of various plants. With regard to widespread use pesticides agricultural lands, bees, as non-target useful insect, inadvertently contact these chemicals. Thus, order evaluate effects some pesticides, toxicity three insecticides from different chemical classes including imidacloprid (0.16 mg a.i./l), ...

Se colectaron garrapatas cuatro fincas ganaderas Catacamas (14°50' N, 85°53' S), considerando una cantidad 300 bovinos. aproximadamente 1,000 teleóginas R. microplus para implementar un grupo control grupo...

Exposure to pesticides is associated with various health concerns and may also be related impaired cognitive function. This study investigated the relationship between greenhouse density function in primary school children using Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) environmental sampling. was conducted on 128 (6–9 years old) Ebrahimabad village, Ashkezar, Yazd, Iran...

A multiresidue method was developed for the determination of 12 organophosphorus insecticides (diazinon, parathion methyl, fenitrothion, pirimiphosmethyl, malathion, fenthion, chlorpyrifos, quinalphos, methidathion, ethion, azinphosmethyl, coumaphos), one carbamate (pirimicarb), and one amidine (amitraz) in unifloral and multifloral honeys. The analytical procedure was based on the matrix solid...

A new and simple procedure for the determination of parathion in human whole blood and urine using direct immersion (DI) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is presented. This technique was developed using only 100 microL of sample, and ethion was used as internal standard (IS). A 65-microm Carbowax/divinylbenzene (CW/DVB) SPME fibre was selected ...

A comparison of detection limits of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in selected ion monitoring (SIM) with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode with both electron ionization (EI) and negative-ion chemical ionization (NCI) are presented for over 50 pesticides ranging from organochlorines (OCs), organophosphorus pesticides (...
