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...

fractions obtained from partitioning of aerial methanolic extract of euphorbia aellenii with chloroform (e2), ethyl acetate (e3), n-butanol (e4) and water (e5) were investigated in vitro for their phytotoxicity, insecticidal, anti-leishmanial, cytotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal activities. sample e2 appeared to have significant phytotoxic activity. in the insecticidal screening study on...

Phytotoxic substances released from plants are considered eco-friendly alternatives for controlling weeds in agricultural production. In this study, the leaves of Afzelia xylocarpa (Kurz) Craib. were investigated biological activity, and their active determined. Extracts A. leaf exhibited concentration-dependent phytotoxic activity against seedling length Lepidium sativum L., Medicago sativa Ph...

Diphenyl ethers are the most versatile phytotoxic com pounds known so far with respect to their targets in the plant cell. According to their substituents, the following modes o f action can be found; (a) inhibition o f photosynthetic electron transport effective at two binding sites, (b) peroxidative activity (degradation o f cellular constituents), (c) inhibition o f carotenogenesis, (d) decr...
