The nematophagous fungus Hirsutella rhossiliensis Minter and Brady parasitizes CriconemeUa xenoplax (Raski) Luc & Raski in many California stone fruit orchards (5). We assume that the nematode population density would be higher if the fungus were absent, but the suppressive effect of the fungus has not been quantified in the field. Biocides have been used to inhibit antagonists of pests and thu...

Three new structures of Escherichia coli succinate-quinone oxidoreductase (SQR) have been solved. One with the specific quinone-binding site (Q-site) inhibitor carboxin present has been solved at 2.4 A resolution and reveals how carboxin inhibits the Q-site. The other new structures are with the Q-site inhibitor pentachlorophenol and with an empty Q-site. These structures reveal important detai...

Fungicides viz., Benomyl, TopsinM, Carbendazim and Cuprocaffro were used at different concentrations i.e., 0, 1, 10, 100, 1000 and 10,000 ppm a.i. to evaluate Trichoderma species viz. T. harzianum, T. pseudokoningii, T. longibrachiatum, T. viride for tolerance to fungicides. Topsin-M and Carbendazim were the most effective fungicides that inhibit the growth of Trichoderma species even at low co...

The effectiveness of 12 chemical compounds (azoxystrobin, carbendazim, chlorothalonil, fenarimol, folpet, mancozeb, myclobutanil + mancozeb, prochloraz + carbendazim, tebuconazole + triadimefon, tetraconazole + chlorothalonil, tiophanate-methyl, tridemorph + epoxiconazole) in the control of Puccinia horiana was tested on chrysanthemum cv. Fiji Yellow. Additionally, their influence on plant grow...

Samples of Pleurotus ostreatus were exposed to fungicide carbendazim to study the effect of processing on the residues. In most cases, processing operations led to a significant decrease in residue levels in the finished products, particularly through washing, drying, and cooking processes. The results indicated that rinsing under running tap water led to more than 70.30% loss in carbendazim re...

Introduction: Pesticides are a critical tool for crop protection and control of different pests and insects. The present research conducted to evaluate the protective role of Jaft extract against oxidative pressure, biochemical variations because of limited time giveaway to carbendazim in Wistar mice males. Fresh fruits of quercus brantii were dried and the internal layer (Jaft) was collected f...

IN T RODUC T ION QuEChERS methodology is commonly used for sample preparation of fruits and fruit juices, prior to LC/MS or other analytical chromatography. Recently, a nonregistered fungicide residue, carbendazim, was detected in orange juice purchased at a local market. This juice was produced from orange juice concentrate imported into the USA. In this application note, we discuss sample pre...
