Understanding the spatial variability of herbicide sorption to soil is important in determining the bioavailability as well as leaching potential of the chemical across a field. Multiple methods have been used to estimate herbicide sorption variability at the macroscale, but it has been difficult to measure soil heterogeneity or herbicide sorption at the individual field level. One method to de...

in order to study the effect of planting pattern and herbicide application on corn (zea mays l.) grain yield and weeds control, an experiment was carried out in 2007 at varamin research station of plant protection research institute. the experimental design was a randomized complete block in a split plot arrangement with 4 replications. experimental factors consisted of planting patterns at 4 l...

in order to study of the effect of nitrogen source, operation method and weed control methods on weed biomass, yield and yield components of corn (zea mays l.) an experiment was carried out as split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in shahrood university of technology. the treatments included weed control methods at four levels (hand weeding...

An environmental preference test chamber (EPTC) was designed, constructed, and utilized in an initial test for response of laying hens to atmospheric ammonia. The EPTC featured four interconnected, individually ventilated clear acrylic compartments. Each compartment contained a wire-mesh cage that was divided into two sections, one section used for a test bird to navigate between the compartmen...

Determination of the N-terminal sequences of two EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylcarbamothioate)-induced proteins from thiocarbamate-degrading Rhodococcus sp. strain NI86/21 resolved by two-dimensional electrophoresis enabled the localization of the respective structural genes on two distinct DNA fragments. One of these strongly induced proteins is a NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenase active on aliphatic ald...

Half-lives (t1/2) of two soil incorporated s-triazines (atrazine and prometon) and two thiocarbamate (EPTC and triallate) herbicides were determined in relation to soil moisture content in two California soils. Treated soils were incubated at three moisture levels in aerated glass vials at 25 +/- 1 degree C and were analyzed at 0, 7, 16, 28, 56 and 112 day intervals. Loss of herbicides in all t...

S-Ethyl-N,N-dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC) was oxidized into its corresponding sulfoxide by microsomal fractions from etiolated maize seedlings. This reaction is catalyzed by a hydroperoxide-dependent enzyme, identified as a peroxygenase. The hydroperoxides formed from fatty acids by a lipoxygenase are efficient co-substrates o f the EPTC sulfoxidation. The effects o f the safener dichlormid on t...

in order to evaluate the efficacy of some new herbicides in corn farms, a field study was conducted during the 2010 growing season in jiroft. the experimental design was completely randomized blocks, with 11 treatments and 4 replications. treatments were nicosulfuron at 2lit/ha, foramsulfuron at 2.5 lit/ha, rimsulfuron at 50 g/ha, nicosulfuron+ rimsulfuron at 175 g/ha, bromoxynil+mcpa at 1.5 li...

this study was conducted in 2008 at the research field of university of tehran, karaj. the experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments were: atrazine 1kg/ha, alachlor 4kg/ha, atrazine+alachlor (1+4) kg/ha, nicosulfuron 80 g ai/ha, furamsulfuron 45g ai/ha, rimsulfuron 25g ai/ha, nicosulfuron+furamsulfuron (80+45) g ai/ha, nicosulfuron+rimsulf...
