The conservation and preservation of aquatic ecosystems is of utmost importance due to the high diversity and density of species and their complex food network. The evaluation of the potential adverse environmental impact caused by pesticides entering water bodies is an important parameter in aquatic toxicity. The toxicity of the insecticide, Fenitrothion and two of its metabolites, 3-methyl-4 ...

The midge Chironomus tepperi was used in laboratory experiments to assess the relative toxicity of formulated molinate, clomazone, and thiobencarb, three herbicides used in Australian rice crops. Static bioassays were initiated with first-instar larvae at herbicide concentrations between 0.0625 and 2 times the anticipated field concentrations (AFCs) expected from the registered application rate...

field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of thiobencarb and oxadiargyl herbicides on rice (oryza sativa l.) and their possible residual effects on spinach (spinacea oleracea l.) and lettuce (lactuca sativa l.) at dashtnaz and gharakhil agricultural research stations, iran. treatments included thiobencarb at 3.16 and 6.33 kg a.i. ha-1, oxadiargyl at 0.15 and 0.30 kg a.i. ha-1 and ...

Molinate is a recalcitrant thiocarbamate used to control grass weeds in rice fields. The recently described molinate hydrolase, from Gulosibacter molinativorax ON4T, plays a key role in the only known molinate degradation pathway ending in the formation of innocuous compounds. Here we report the crystal structure of recombinant molinate hydrolase at 2.27 Å. The structure reveals a homotetramer ...

S-[(4-chlorophenyl) methyl]diethylcarbamothioate General information This document reviews the environmental fate and environmental effects of the thiocarbamate herbicide, thiobencarb {S–[(4-chlorophenyl) methyl] diethylcarbamothioate (C 12 H 16 ClNOS)}. Thiobencarb, also referred to as benthiocarb was developed by Kumiai Chem. Ind. Co. Ltd and introduced in the market in 1970 (Ishikawa, 1981)....

Water is a necessity for life. Currently, because of different contaminations in tap water, most people prefer using bottled mineral waters. Pesticides (e.g., organophophorous, carbamates, etc.) are among the most dangerous chemicals that may be found in drinking waters, which can cause long- and short-term complications. Because all people consume at least 2 L of water per day, water-quality m...

one of the crucial issues before the second cropping is having enough knowledge about the residue effect of first crop herbicides on second crops. this experiment was conducted to investigate the possible inhibitory effect of some selective paddy herbicides residues to second cropping. experimental factors were included common paddy herbicides (thiobencarb, butachlor, oxadiargyl, bensulfuronmet...
