Glyphosate-based herbicides are the number one pesticide in the United States and are used commonly around the world. Understanding the affects of glyphosate-based herbicides on non-target wildlife, for example amphibians, is critical for evaluation of regulations pertaining to the use of such herbicides. Additionally, it is important to understand how variation in biotic and abiotic environmen...

The role of aspirin in women with infertility is controversial and the evidence is inconsistent; some studies have reported benefits in women undergoing IVF whilst others have not. An important gap in the literature was the question of when to start and when to stop aspirin and how long should aspirin be given for. In a 2007 systematic review on the effectiveness of aspirin on IVF outcomes invo...

Herbicide-resistance mutations may impose a fitness penalty in herbicide-free environments. Moreover, the fitness penalty associated with herbicide resistance is not a stable parameter and can be influenced by ecological factors. Here, we used two Brachypodium hybridum accessions collected from the same planted forest, sensitive (S) and target-site resistance (TSR) to photosystem II (PSII) inhi...

Droplet size is one of the most important factors that affect spray deposition and weed control through use herbicides. The aim this study was to evaluate influence droplet on Euphorbia heterophylla Urochloa ruziziensis by using glyphosate. treatments included spraying glyphosate with fine, medium, coarse, very ultra-coarse sizes determine deposition, uniformity distribution, visual control, dr...

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 ...

This paper reports the first C. radiata population with resistance to glyphosate and multiple acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor, imazamox. Two populations, one putative resistant (R) susceptible (S), were used in studies. Dose–response experiments performed evaluate factor (RF). Shikimic acid accumulation, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSPS) ALS enzyme activities studied together che...

TY029, an N-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazolylphenyl sulfonamide herbicide, controls economically important weeds through inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxygenase. Due to the potential for exposure to this compound in food and animal feed items, a rat metabolism study was required to define the biotransformation of this compound. Animals were exposed to single 50- and 2-mg/kg doses of TY029 [hydantoin-...

In the present work a small-scale terrestrial ecosystem (STEM) containing a soil collected from an agricultural field in Central Portugal was used to evaluate the effects of the combination of the herbicide glyphosate and the insecticide dimethoate. Earthworms (Eisenia andrei), isopods (Porcellionides pruinosus), turnip seeds (Brassica rapa), and bait-lamina strips were placed in the STEM. The ...
