C. Alister, M. Araya, and M. Kogan. 2011. Effects of physicochemical soil properties of five agricultural soils on herbicide soil adsorption and leaching. Cien. Inv. Agr. 38(2): 243-251. Once pesticides reach the soil, there are several factors that affect their soil behavior. To identify the principal soil and herbicide properties that control their adsorption and leaching, a study of five Chi...

Although water is crucial to the performance of preemergence herbicides, pesticide performance has rarely been related to irrigation management. This 2-yr study investigated the effect that amount of irrigation water applied had on activity of simazine. Three rates of simazine at 0, 1.12, and 2.24 kg/ha were applied to a 3-yr-old nectarine orchard that was irrigated with microsprinklers. The pe...

Background: Liver cirrhosis is one of the most significant causes death in many regions worldwide. This study aimed to assess correlation hemostatic and endocrine parameters with Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scoring patients non-alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Materials Methods: included 59 monitored for a gastroenterology clinic from January 2018 February 2019. The subjects were grouped according CTP ...

Since transgenic, bromoxynil-resistant cotton and glufosinate-resistant canola were introduced in 1995, planting of transgenic herbicide-resistant crops has grown substantially, revolutionizing weed management where they have been available. Before 1995, several commercial herbicide-resistant crops were produced by biotechnology through selection for resistance in tissue culture. However, non-t...

The emergence of herbicide-resistant weeds is a major threat facing modern agriculture. Over 470 weedy-plant populations have developed resistance to herbicides. Traditional evolutionary mechanisms are not always sufficient to explain the rapidity with which certain weed populations adapt in response to herbicide exposure. Stress-induced epigenetic changes, such as alterations in DNA methylatio...

Herbicide rate cutting is an example of poor use of agrochemicals that can have potential adverse implications due to rapid herbicide resistance evolution. Recent laboratory-level studies have revealed that herbicides at lower-than-recommended rates can result in rapid herbicide resistance evolution in rigid ryegrass populations. However, crop-field-level studies have until now been lacking. In...

Crops made resistant to herbicides by biotechnology are being widely adopted in various parts of the world. From the genesis of commercialization in 1996 to 2011, herbicide tolerance has consistently been the dominant trait. Those containing transgenes that impart resistance to post-emergence, non-selective herbicides such as glyphosate and glufosinate will have the major impact. These products...

herbicide toxicities are considered as an important issue in public health programs of developing countries. this investigation aims at studying epidemiologic toxicities caused by paraquat herbicide and comparing factors influencing these patients’ causality in kermanshah imam khomeini hospital. in a descriptive-survey study, 9 patients poisoned by paraquat herbicide were considered statistical...

Objective(s): to investigate the chronopharmacological effects of growth hormone on executive function and the oxidative stress response in rats. Materials and Methods: Fifty male Wistar rats (36-40 weeks old) had ad libitum access to water and food and were separated into four groups: diurnal control, nocturnal control, diurnal GH-treated, and nocturnal GH-treated animals. Levels of Cu, Zn sup...
