Four commonly used herbicides were evaluated at two different temperatures and three concentrations (10X, 1X and 0.1X, where X = recommended field rate) for compatibility in vitro with the entomopathogenic fungi Conidiobolus thromboides, C. coronatus, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Paecilomyces farinosus and Verticillium lecanii. The effects of the herbicides on radial growth durin...

mixing herbicides is an essential for weed management strategy of reduce herbicide using and reducing the risk of side-effects and costs of herbicides. therefore, to study the effect of clopyralid and glyphosate and their mixtures on acroptylon repense control, a field trial was conducted as split plot based on a completely randomized block design with 35 treatments (as dose-response arrangemen...

This study determined the relative sensitivity of five species of aquatic macrophytes and six species of algae to four commonly used herbicides (atrazine, metribuzin, alachlor, and metolachlor). Toxicity tests consisted of 96-h (duckweed and algae) or 14-d (submerged macrophytes) static exposures. The triazine herbicides (atrazine and metribuzin) were significantly more toxic to aquatic plants ...

to examine the effect of mixing graminicide herbicides with liquid fertilizer in gorgan region, an experiment was conducted as factorial arranged in complete randomized block design (rcbd) with three replications at the research farm of islamic azad university of gorgan. the first factor was using topic, pumasuper and axial herbicides with the amounts of 0.8, 1, and 0.5 l/ha-1, respectively. th...

although there is a tendency worldwide towards alternative methods in effectively managing weeds, use of herbicides to control weeds in conventional agriculture is still inevitable. with regard to externalities (through unsystematic use of herbicides) imposed upon environment, in the present paper it has been tried to study the willingness to pay of wheat farmers to plan for reducing the side e...

Coastal waters of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) are contaminated with agricultural pesticides, including the photosystem II (PSII) herbicides which are the most frequently detected at the highest concentrations. Designed to control weeds, these herbicides are equally potent towards non-target marine species, and the close proximity of seagrass meadows to flood plumes has raised concerns that sea...

The phytotoxic effect of 2,4-D amine, 2,4-DIBE-butachlor; butachlor, benthiocarb and molinate on rice plants were assessed. Applications of the herbicides at different time resulted in severe phytotoxicity when applied before seeding. Early postemergent applications were also generally phytotoxic, adversely affecting plant growth and grain yield. Late applications 8 to 10 weeks after seeding we...
