Triadimefon (TDF) is a fungicide with effects similar to cocaine, suggesting potential for abuse. Mice were trained in an apparatus with two distinctive flooring cues. In the experimental group, one of these was paired with administration of TDF and the other with vehicle; in the control group, both flooring types were paired with vehicle. The experimental group showed a significant preference ...

A multi-residue method for the determination of 54 pesticide residues in pollens has been developed and validated. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of 48 crude pollen samples collected from eight provinces of China. The recovery of analytes ranged from 60% to 136% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 30%. Of the 54 targeted compounds, 19 pesticides were detected. The ma...

Fourteen pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides) were tested to determine whether they had deleterious effects on the bioinsecticide Bacillus popilliae, the causal agent of milky disease. All of these pesticides reduced levels of spore viability, spore germination, and/or vegetative cell growth when they were tested over a range of concentrations from 0 to 1,000 ppm of active ingr...

Triazole fungicides can manifest toxicity to a wide range of non-target organisms. Within this study we present systematic review the effects produced on soil microbiota and activity enzymes by following triazole fungicides: cyproconazole, difenoconazole, epoxiconazole, flutriafol, hexaconazole, metconazole, myclobutanil, paclobutrazole, propiconazole, tebuconazole, tetraconazole, triadimenol, ...

Azole fungicides are widely used to control diseases and insect pests of vegetables, fruits flowers because their good antibacterial effect regulating plant growth. However, extensive use inevitably enters the water environment with rainfall surface runoff, which leads potential harm aquatic organisms. At present, research on biological toxicity azole mainly focuses single compounds, such as Pa...

I. The fungicide triadimefon causes strong-light growth-response and the formation of sun-type chloroplasts as seen from the changed chlorophyll a/b ratio and the carotenoid and prenylquinone composition. 2. The photosystem II herbicide bentazone, in turn, induces a shade-type adaption. It prevents the strong-light induced formation of sun-type chloroplasts, but has little influence on the chlo...

this study was carried out to investigation the possibility of using triadimefon (trd) in order to decrease the adverse effects of salt stress on medicago plant. triadimefon is a member of triazol compounds which enhances stress tolerance through physiological processes. two cultivars of medicago sitiva including hamedani and yazdi were used in this study. plants were treated with 1, 2 and 4 mg...
