When studying herbicide absorption, translocation, metabolism, and mode of action, transport pathways are usually referred to as apoplast (dead cells) and symplast (living cells) as simple synonyms of xylem and phloem. However, the behavior of an herbicide within a plant greatly depends upon several factors and its movement accomplished by different routes and processes. If an herbicide takes t...

abstract in order to determine efficacy of some registered graminicides in control of resistant and susceptible ryegrass biotypes, two greenhouse trials were conducted at weed research department of iranian plant protection research institute during 2007. experimental design was completely randomized design with eight replications. the susceptible and resistant biotypes were treated by 19 herbi...

This study was undertaken to determine sorption coefficients of eight herbicides (alachlor, amitrole, atrazine, simazine, dicamba, imazamox, imazethapyr, and pendimethalin) to seven agricultural soils from sites throughout Lithuania. The measured sorption coefficients were used to predict the susceptibility of these herbicides to leach to groundwater. Soil-water partitioning coefficients were m...

In an experiment with Azolla pinnata R.Br. under varying concentrations of herbicide (2,4-D), it reveals that the fern species has an wider ranges of physiological activities in moderation. Initially, the effects of the herbicide were reflected with minimum changes in dry matter accumulation in a dose dependent manner. The changes of membrane permeability had the maximum effects on 1000 μM of 2...

BACKGROUND Combining herbicides into a mixture is common approach used to overcome the potential for herbicide resistance in weeds. Many mixtures can be antagonistic and they are rarely synergistic. Here, 24 commercial herbicides, each representing different mode of action were create matrix all 276 unique combinations search new synergies agar using Arabidopsis thaliana. RESULTS Herbicides at ...

Herbicide resistance is a ubiquitous challenge to herbicide sustainability and a looming threat to control weeds in crops. Recently four genes were found constituently over-expressed in herbicide resistant individuals of Lolium rigidum, a close relative of Lolium multiflorum. These include two cytochrome P450s, one nitronate monooxygenase and one glycosyl-transferase. Higher expressions of thes...

Introduced perennial grasses are one of the greatest constraints to prairie restoration. Herbicides suppress but do not eliminate introduced grasses, so we explored the interaction of herbicide with two additional controls: heavy clipping (to simulate grazing) and competition from native species. A 50-year-old stand of the introduced perennial grass Agropyron cristatum (crested wheatgrass) in t...
