A laboratory experiment was conducted by using three herbicides, two from dinitroaniline group and one from thiocarbamate group to know their degree of downward movement (leachability) through soil columns and their contribution in ground water contamination. Soil columns were loaded with Pendimethalin, Benthiocarb and Oryzalin at doses of 10.0, 10.0 and 7.7 kg/ha, respectively. After 30 days s...

Four experiments were conducted during 2019 and 2020 summer seasons at Weed Research Central Laboratory, Giza Ismailia Stations, to exploit of the allelochemicals potential aqueous extract derived from aboveground parts Ocimum basilicum on controlling some annual weeds growth cowpea peanut crops. Aqueous applied 40% concentration as pre-emergence and/or apportionment 30%+10%, 20%+10%+10% 10%+10...

Background: The presence of weeds in cowpea reduced the yield to tune 60-82% depending on weed flora and density. critical period competition was 20-25 DAS. Therefore it is essential control effectively harness maximum potential crop. To manage also important determine efficacy pre post-emergence herbicides. Sequential application herbicides a short duration crop not only increases cost product...

Background: Groundnut or peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is known as the ‘king’ of oilseeds. It one most important food and cash crop India. Among different constraints that limit productivity groundnut, weed menace serious bottlenecks. A field experiment was conducted at Perunthalaivar Kamaraj Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Puducherry during 2019 to 2020 study tank mix application post-emergence herbicide...

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...

Nanotechnology operates at the nanoscale, offering precise manipulation and enhancing materials, applications, performance across various domains. It holds promise in addressing weed-related losses, with nanofibers emerging as a noteworthy option among diverse nano-formulations. The research conducted Centre for Agricultural Nanotechnology, TNAU, Coimbatore focuses on crafting pendimethalin-loa...

The objective of the present study was to isolate fungi from agricultural soils and evaluate fungal growth in culture medium contaminated with atrazine, glyphosate pendimethalin. Filamentous were isolated cultured a modified containing 0, 10, 20, 50, 100 ?g mL-1 pendimethalin for 14 days at 28°C. that presented optimal satisfactory plated Sabouraud 4% dextrose herbicides concentrations seven me...
