tions that affect human health, garden plants, or crops. Studies done in the early 1990s on pesticide residues at composting facilities which accept yard trimmings showed that although many commonly used pesticides are occasionally found on yard trimmings entering the facilities, very low or undetectable levels are present in commercially produced composts. Two exceptions are DDT metabolites an...

Surfactants are often added to herbicidal formulations improve the delivery of herbicide into plants. In this study a new formulation was formed based on clopyralid with 0.01% gemini surfactant hexanediyl-1,6-bis(dimethylcetylammonium bromide) (16-6-16) as an adjuvant. The increase in efficiency associated formation supramolecular surfactant–herbicide complex (SMC), which has improved wetting p...

In this work, it is proposed a novel strategy to increase the photostability of ZnO photoelectrocatalyst under prolonged light irradiation, without addition or deposition metals and/or semiconductor oxides during their synthesis. This based on use mixed metal oxide (MMO-Ru0.3Ti0.7O2) coating as substrate for electrodeposition ZnO. To assess it, films Ti and Ti/MMO substrates photoelectrocatalyt...
