Various indicators of pesticide environmental risk have been proposed, and one of the most widely known and used is the environmental impact quotient (EIQ). The EIQ has been criticized by others in the past, but it continues to be used regularly in the weed science literature. The EIQ is typically considered an improvement over simply comparing the amount of herbicides applied by weight. Herbic...

Four phenylurea herbicides (isoproturon, chlortoluron, diuron and linuron) were dissolved in different water matrices in order to study their chemical degradation by using UV radiation, ozone and some advanced oxidation processes (UV/H2O2, O3/H2O2, Fenton reagent and the photoFenton system). The waters used were: ultra-pure water, a commercial mineral water, a groundwater and a surface water ta...

Diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)- = 1,1-dimethylurea] and simazine (6-chloro-N(2), N(4)-diethyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) are soil-applied herbicides used in olive crops. The objective of this study is to investigate the combined effect of these herbicides and the amendment of soil with an organic waste (OW) from the olive oil production industry on the growth and photosynthetic apparatus of ad...

Maleic hydrazide (1, 2-dihydropyridazine-3, 6dione) is an organic plant growth regulator which has found use in such varied areas as prevention of sucker formation in tobacco, prevention of sprouting of some stored vegetables, and as a herbicide. In commercial application the diethanolamine salt (diethanolammonium maleic hydrazide or diethanolammonium-1 ,2-dihydropyridazine-3, 6-dione) is often...
