Imazalil ([1-(β-allyloxy-2,4-dichlorophenethyl)imidazole]) is a systemic chiral fungicide used in postharvest protection of citruses against fungi development for during storage and transportation. The chemical structure of imazalil shows an asymmetric carbon in the C7 position. These enantiomers may have different toxicity. A method for both chiral enantiomers extraction and determination in o...

Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) cultivars carrying the sh2 mutation show poor seed vigor under stressful field conditions, requiring higher seeding rates to ensure stand establishment. The effects of sodium hypochlorite seed disinfestation, solid matrix priming (SMP), and seed-coating with Gliocladium virens Miller, Giddens & Foster to enhance emergence of sh2 sweet corn in controlled-environment cold...

In this work, a fast, simple and economic method is proposed for the determination of imazalil in water samples by flow injection photoinduced chemiluminescence. In this method, imazalil degrades in basic media through the use of a photoreactor, and the resulting photofragments react with ferricyanide and generate the direct chemiluminescence signal. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first...

the effects of chemical and physical treatments on the storage life of bitter lemons in jiroft, kerman province, were investigated. after harvesting, the lemons were treated by curing, fungicide, waxed paper, shrink wrap or using a combination of these treatments. the samples were stored in standard citrus fruit boxes for three months at 85-90% relative humidity at a temperature of 3°c. once a ...

In recent years, the interest in the use of bacteria for biological control of plant-pathogenic fungi has increased. We studied the possible side effects of coating barley seeds with the antagonistic strain Pseudomonas fluorescens DR54 or a commercial fungicide, imazalil. This was done by monitoring the number of indigenous Pseudomonas organisms and actinomycetes on barley roots during growth i...

We examined the effects of atrazine and imazalil, 2 commonly used pesticides, on sexual differentiation in chickens. Atrazine and imazalil were injected into fertile eggs on d 0. At hatching, sex genotype and phenotype were determined. Gonads were stereomicroscopically and histologically observed. In ovo exposure of atrazine (0.01 to 3 mg/egg) did not influence hatchability, whereas imazalil ex...

In this work, a sand filtration-activated carbon adsorption system was evaluated to remove the fungicide content of biologically treated effluent. The purification process mainly carried out in activated column, while filtration slightly contributed improvement pollutant parameters. tertiary treatment system, which operated under batch mode for 25 bed volumes, resulted total and soluble COD rem...
