in order to study the response of wheat (triticum aestivum) cv. chamran and wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) to different herbicides, a pot dose response experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replication at research greenhouse of ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. different doses of herbicides including clodinafop propargyl, pinoxaden, sulfosulfuron, and met...

Studies were conducted in the period 2009-2011 in the experimental field of the Institute of Land Reclamation and Agricultural Mechanization – Sofia. The following treatments were used: a1 no herbicides with weeds (C0); a2 herbicide oxyfluorfen (Goal 2 E) at a rate of 250 ml / da; a3 herbicide oxyfluorfen (Goal 2 E) at a rate of 500 ml / da. The experiment was set up using long plots, three ver...

We report the novel application of a herbicide-resistance-based dominant marker for the positive selection of expression plasmids in Salmonella serovar vaccines. The beta-lactamase gene of the plasmid pTETnir15, which expresses fragment C of tetanus toxin (TetC), has been replaced with the bar gene marker. The new plasmid pBAT1 can be positively selected in vitro within Salmonella serovars in t...

Climate change endangers food security and our ability to feed the ever-increasing human population. Weeds are the most important biotic stress, reducing crop-plant productivity worldwide. Chemical control, the main approach for weed management, can be strongly affected by temperature. Previously, we have shown that temperature-dependent non-target site (NTS) resistance of Brachypodium hybridum...

During 1986 soil contaminated with high concentrations of herbicides from drainage of wastewater was excavated and applied to an adjacent field in an effort to stimulate degradation of the pesticides. The field was divided into two plots that were planted with com or soybeans. As a continuation of this earlier study, part of the current project focused on monitoring herbicide residues in the la...

to identify the impacts of chemical control of weeds on wheat aphids community, a field experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with two factors, each in three replicates in a 20-ha wheat field. the herbicide treatment used tribenuron methyl, a broadleaf–selective herbicide and the control treatment not treated with herbicide. all other agricultural practices were the same fo...

BACKGROUND While gastric bypass has been the treatment of choice for morbid obesity, insufficient weight loss and even weight regain has been observed in a sub-group of patients. Dilatation of the pouch, pouch outlet, and proximal alimentary limb have been suggested to cause weight regain on the long term. The banded gastric bypass surgery has been introduced to overcome this problem. METHODS...

Poorly drained claypan soils can increase the importance of tillage and N management for corn (Zea mays L.) production. Field research in 2008, 2009 and 2010 (high rainfall years) near Novelty, MO (40° 1' N, 92° 11' W) sought to determine the effect of polymer-coated urea (PCU) placement [strip-tillage (ST) deep banded and no-till (NT) broadcast] and application timing (fall, early preplant...

A hydroxamate type siderophore producing fluorescent Pseudomonas strain, isolated from the rhizoplane of paddy root showing plant growth promoting activity, exhibited a decreased in vitro antibiosis, production of siderophore and suppression of collar rot in presence of metham sodium. Use of herbicide had a detrimental effect on the plant growth promoting activity of this organism. The multiple...
