CONTEXT Environmental exposure to herbicides has been hypothesized to contribute to the long-term increase in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). OBJECTIVE To estimate the effects of residential herbicide exposure on NHL risk. DESIGN Population-based case-control study. SETTING Iowa and metropolitan Detroit, Los Angeles, and Seattle, 1998 to 2000. PARTICIPANTS NHL patients ages 20 to 74 years a...

Exposure to herbicide-treated lawns has been associated with significantly higher bladder cancer risk in dogs. This work was performed to further characterize lawn chemical exposures in dogs, and to determine environmental factors associated with chemical residence time on grass. In addition to concern for canine health, a strong justification for the work was that dogs may serve as sentinels f...

A new liquid chromatography (LC)-negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI(-))-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method with post-column addition of ammonia in methanol has been developed for the analysis of acid herbicides: 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid, 4-chloro-o-tolyloxyacetic acid, 2-(2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy)butyric acid, mecoprop, dichlorprop, 4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) butyric acid, 2,4,5...

Dicamba plus glyphosate (DpG) tank mixture has been widely adopted for broad-spectrum weed control. However, recent studies indicated antagonistic interactions between these herbicides. Furthermore, little is known about the effect of non-ammonium sulfate water conditioner (non-AMS WC) adjuvant on activity DpG mixture. Thus, present study was elaborated to evaluate (1) interaction mixtures comb...

The increase in agricultural production is facing several challenges with future implications for food security and environmental protection. aim of this study was to evaluate a remote sensing-based low-cost methodology assessing the effects dicamba 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4D) non-tolerant soybean crop. Here, we introduced application six vegetation indices (VI) derived from Unmanned ...

A greenhouse study was conducted to test the effects of low herbicide dose exposure on different crops measuring visible damages, plant height, leaf area, and dry matter. Seven were tested: lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cv. Novosadska majska maslena, oil pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima Duch) Olivija, oilseed rape (Brassica napus NS Ras, pepper (Capsicum annuum Kurtovska kapija, soybean (Glycine max (L....

Abstract Glyphosate-resistant (GR) Palmer amaranth is one of the most difficult to control weeds in soybean production fields Nebraska and United States. An integrated approach required for effective management GR amaranth. Cultural practices such as narrow row spacing might augment herbicide efficacy The objectives this study were evaluate effect programs dicamba/glyphosate-resistant (DGR) soy...

Six dichloro-, 3 trichloro-, 2 triiodo-, and 3 heterosubstituted benzoic acids (amiben, dinoben, dicamba), and N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid have been tested for effects on growth and on polar auxin transport. Growth activity with and without kinetin was measured by effects on fresh and dry weights of 30-day cultures of fresh tobacco pith. Transport inhibition was measured by following uptake and...
