Climate change endangers food security and our ability to feed the ever-increasing human population. Weeds are the most important biotic stress, reducing crop-plant productivity worldwide. Chemical control, the main approach for weed management, can be strongly affected by temperature. Previously, we have shown that temperature-dependent non-target site (NTS) resistance of Brachypodium hybridum...

Background: Green chemistry focuses on an efficient extraction strategy for pesticides from agricultural and environmental samples. QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method is used primarily, in the extraction of pesticides from food matrices. Certain modifications in the approach lead to better sensitivity and efficient extraction. This paper describes an analytical ap...

Avena fatua (wild oat) populations with resistance (R) to one or more herbicides have been described in numerous cropping systems worldwide. We previously reported that the R3 and R4 wild oat populations from Montana, USA, were resistant to four herbicides representing three different modes of action: tralkoxydim [acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase] inhibitor), imazamethabenz and flucarbazone [acet...

Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) are crucial metabolic enzymes and have been targeted for drug development against obesity, diabetes, and other diseases. The carboxyltransferase (CT) domain of this enzyme is the site of action for three different classes of herbicides, as represented by haloxyfop, tepraloxydim, and pinoxaden. Our earlier studies have demonstrated that haloxyfop and tepraloxydim b...

adjutants' ability in enhancing the performance of herbicides is a major priority in adjuvant research. to identify an appropriate adjuvant for pinoxaden and clodinafop propargyl herbicides against littleseed canarygrass (phalaris minor retz.), common wild oat (avena fatua l.) and ryegrass (lolium temulentum l.), three separate experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions. in all...

Abstract Avena sterilis ssp. ludoviciana (Durieu) is a problematic weed in the wheat crop of Australia. Pinoxaden an effective herbicide for control this weed. However, late cohorts A. escape from early application pinoxaden and produce seeds. This research investigated integrated effect tillage systems (no-tillage conventional tillage), seeding rates (100 200 seeds m −2 ), treatments (nontreat...

BACKGROUND Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicides are important products for the post-emergence control of grass weed species in small grain cereal crops. However, the appearance of resistance to ACCase herbicides over time has resulted in limited options for effective weed control of key species such as Lolium spp. In this study, we have used an integrated biological and molecul...

Wild oats are worldwide grassy weeds that cause substantial yield losses, particularly in winter cereal crops. In addition, wild oat herbicide resistant cases have increased; indeed, up to 52 been registered. Despite this, no described Spain, where farmers and technicians reported poor efficacy sterile (Avena sterilis subsp. L.). A dose-response experiment was conducted comparing the behavior o...

Following growers’ reports of herbicide control problems, populations 30 wild oats, Avena fatua, were collected from the south-east main arable counties Ireland in 2016 and investigated for occurrence potential resistance to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors pinoxaden, propaquizafop cycloxydim, as well acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron. Plant survival ?2...
