The surface runoff potential of trifloxysulfuron {N-[(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)carbamoyl]-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoy)-pyridin-2-sulfonamide sodium salt} in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production systems has not been evaluated. The objectives of this study were to (i) determine sorption/desorption coefficients for trifloxysulfuron; (ii) quantify foliar washoff of trifloxysulfuron when applied...

An experiment was performed to study non-target effects of difenoconazole (fungicide), deltamethrin (insecticide) and ethofumesate (herbicide) on microbial parameters in a clay-loam soil. Pesticides were applied as commercial formulations to soil samples at different concentrations (5, 50 and 500 mg kg(-1) DW soil) and then incubated under laboratory conditions for 3 months. Throughout the incu...

The amendment of soil with compost may significantly influence the mobility and persistence of pesticides and thus affect their environmental fate. Factors like adsorption, kinetics, and rate of degradation of pesticides could be altered in amended soils. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the addition of compost made from source-separated municipal waste and green waste, on ...

A fluorescence-staining technique using the magnesium salt of 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid is described and used to follow the changes in the distribution patterns of microorganisms in soils. A statistical procedure was used to determine the occurrence of significant differences in clumping of bacteria (i.e., production of colonies) in different regions of artificial soil-aggregate sys...

چکیده آترازین مهمترین علف کش خانواده ترایازینها است که جزو علف کش های با نیمه عمر متوسط طبقه بندی می شود. به منظور بررسی تأثیر کود آلی و مقدار کاربرد آن بر تجزیه آترازین، آزمایشی به صورت اسپلیت پلات در قالب طرح کاملاً تصادفی در سه تکرار در مزرعه تحقیقاتی دانشکده کشاورزی دانشگاه فردوسی مشهد اجرا شد. کود آلی دو سطح (0 و 50 تن در هکتار) به عنوان کرت اصلی و مقدار کاربرد آترازین در دو سطح (2 و 4 کیلو...

The influence of two organic amendments consisting of an urban waste compost (SUW) and a commercial amendment from olive mill wastes (OW) was assessed on the sorption properties and leaching of the ionizable herbicide imazaquin on four soils with different physicochemical characteristics. A loamy sand soil (CR), a loam soil (P44), a silt loam soil (AL), and a clay soil (TM), with low-medium org...

Volatilization of agricultural chemicals is one process whereby chemicals may enter into parts of the environment where they were not intended. Starch encapsulation of pesticides has been proposed as a way of modifying pesticide behavior in the soil environment. This study was conducted to assess how starch encapsulation and temperature affect volatilization of atrazine [6.chloro-N-ethyI-N’-(l-...

In order to investigate physiological and biochemical changes of wheat under stress residue of Imazethapyr herbicide (Imazethapyr), an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications in greenhouse conditions at university of Mohaghegh Ardebili. The treatments consisted of five dose levels of herbicide Imazethapyr (0, 0.011, 0.022, 0.033 and 0.044 micrograms of ...
