Herbicide carryover injury to rotational crops can vary in severity depending on the influence of soil properties herbicide bioavailability. Greenhouse bioassays were conducted with soybean, radish, and canola evaluate differences bioavailability three herbicides risk, atrazine, mesosulfuron-methyl, topramezone. Bioassays varying regional types nine treatment rates including a control. Plant vi...

In a previously reported model study, sugarcane was genetically engineered with the pat gene conferring resistance to the herbicide Buster®. The sugarcane cultivar used in that work was NCo310, which is no longer grown commercially but responds well to tissue culture and transformation. The field performance of the herbicide resistant sugarcane was assessed and stable transgene expression obser...

The effect of organic amendments and pesticides on a soil microbial community has garnered considerable interest due to the involvement of microorganisms in numerous soil conservation and maintenance reactions. The aim of this work was to assess the influence on a soil microbial community of the simultaneous application of the herbicide triasulfuron at three doses (2, 10, and 50 mg kg-1), with ...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of three active substances, diflufenican, mesosulfuron-methyl and iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium, applied in combination, on soil microbial counts, the structure of soil microbial communities, activity of soil enzymes and their resistance to the tested product, the biochemical indicator of soil fertility, and spring wheat yield. Soil samples with th...

Herbicide mixtures are a modern weed management practice as they reduce herbicide application. This study aimes to evaluate the effect of metribuzin, halosulfuron and flumioxazin applied individually (metribuzin:halosulfuron metribuzin:flumioxazin) on Chenopodium album, Amaranthus retroflexus, potatoes biomass chlorophyll-a fluorescence in 21 experiments. The individual experimental design was ...

abstract to study the efficacy of glyphosate and nicosulfuron herbicides on barnyardgrass [echinochloa crus-galii (l.) p. beauv.] and velvetleaf (abotilon theophrasti medicus.) control and to find the ed50 index, experiments were conducted as factorial arrangement of treatments 2×7 based on completely randomized design with six replications for each weed in 2008-9 at research greenhouse, ferdow...

Atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino 1,3,5-triazine) is a widely used selective herbicide. Due to its persistence, it is present in the surface waters, contaminating non-target organisms such as fish. Herbicide atrazine was administered to Labeo rohita fingerlings in 120 hours. The used dose of atrazine was 0.18 mg/l for 120 hours (LC ). The histopathological changes in the gill tis...

Lentil is a poor competitor of weeds and its sensitivity to herbicides is a major hurdle for large scale production. The present study was conducted to select herbicide resistant lentil genotypes through seed mutagenesis. Seeds of three advanced lentil genotypes (LPP 11001, LPP 11100 and LPP 11116) were treated with two different concentrations of ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS; 0.1 and 0.2%), hyd...

Present study aims to assess the effect of Sublethal dose of the commercial formulations of Cypermethrin (insecticide) and Oxyfluorfen (herbicide). Laboratory study was conducted in a natural Soil and Cow Dung in order to measure effect of these chemicals on activities of stress enzymes viz., Glutathione, Catalase (CAT) and LPO/MDA for a period of 90 days. The activity of Glutathione and CAT wa...
