Diagnosing Herbicide Injury in Corn

Control of Herbicide-resistant Volunteer Corn in Herbicide-resistant Soybean

Glyphosate-resistant corn and soybean are grown in rotations in the Midwest, including Nebraska. Volunteer corn is a problematic weed in soybean fields because it causes harvest problems, reduces yield and seed quality, and potentially harbors insects, pests, and diseases. Several pre-packaged herbicides have been registered in soybean in recent years, but response of volunteer corn to these he...

Atrazine and Non-Atrazine Herbicide Comparisons in Conventional Till Corn

Removal of Metribuzin Herbicide from Aqueous Solution Using Corn Cob

Agricultural solid waste (corn cob) has been investigated asbiosorbent for removal of metribuzin herbicide from aqueous solution. Parameters influencing extraction efficiency such as pH of the sample, contact time of sample with biosorbent, shaking time, temperature, heating time, sorbent dose were studied. Maximum sorption of metribuzinwas found at pH 5.0. The sorption of metribuzin on corn co...

Diagnosing pseudobulbar affect in traumatic brain injury

Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) is defined by episodes of involuntary crying and/or laughing as a result of brain injury or other neurological disease. Epidemiology studies show that 5.3%-48.2% of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may have symptoms consistent with (or suggestive of) PBA. Yet it is a difficult and often overlooked condition in individuals with TBI, and is easily confused with d...

Fungal infections in corn picker hand injury.

INTRODUCTION Hand injuries caused by corn pickers are relatively rare but in most cases extensive, with massive tissue destruction. Severe wounds sustained during agricultural work are contaminated, with high incidence of infection. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine the frequency and type of fungal infection in corn picker injuries and their impact on the course and outcome of t...
