Herbicides are one of the most widely used agrochemical classes around world. They help farmers to protect their crops against weeds. However, they can move through soil profile polluting water resources and adversely affect human health. Groundwater is an important source for production drinking in many places world presence pesticide residues groundwater a serious threat health consumers wate...

a field experiment was conducted at college of aburaihan, university of tehran, iran in 2007 to evaluate the herbicides efficacy in a marigold nursery to control weeds including annual flowers. experimental design was a rcbd with total 12 treatments replicated four times. treatments were trifluralin preplant incorporated at two and three li/ha, trifluralin preplant non incorporated at two and t...

this experiment was arranged as a strip-plot on the base of a completely randomized block design with three replications to study the effect of tillage (whether in day or night or in day by light-proof cover) and application of reduced dosage of imazethapyr and trifluralin on weed control, yield and yield components of chickpea. main plots consisted of tillage methods and subplots consisted of ...

ABSTRACT- To compare the effects of six types of non-living mulches (wheat straw, sawdust, coco peat, peat moss, transparent and black plastic) with metribuzin on yield and yield components of tomato cv "CH" and the weed control efficiency, a study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at School of Agriculture, Shiraz University in 2012. Plots without mulch...

paraquat herbicide weed control efficacy in stale seedbed practices was evaluated by split plots arrangement according to a randomized complete block design with three replications in lorestan province during 2009 and 2010. the common bean seed rate (in three levels: 100, 150 and 200 kg.ha-1) and weed management in seven levels (1. trifluralin ppi; 2. paraquat pre; 3. bentazon+acifluorfen post;...

abstract leaving crop residues on the soil surface may significantly affect the behavior and activity of herbicides. to probe this effect, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted using two factors including different rates of wheat surface residue (0, 1250, 2500 and 3750 kg ha-1 ) and different rates of trifluralin (%48 ec) herbicide (7...

BACKGROUND Organophosphate insecticides can inhibit specific cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in metabolic herbicide resistance mechanisms, leading to synergistic interactions between the insecticide and the herbicide. In this study we report synergistic versus antagonistic interactions between the organophosphate insecticide phorate and five different herbicides observed in a population of mul...
