Glyphosate is the number one herbicide in the world. We investigated the sub-lethal effects of this herbicide on the aphid Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker), using an age-stage, two-sex life table approach. Three concentrations of the herbicide (low - 33.5, medium - 66.9 and high - 133.8 mmol dm(-3) of active ingredient) and distilled water as the control were used. The LC50 of the IPA salt of gl...

Soybean is an important crop worldwide. Soybean cultivars differ in their sensitivity to soil salinity and herbicide damage. In these experiments, we examined the impact of salinization and herbicide (imazethapyr and chlorimuron) application on the growth and yield of two soybean cultivars, Essex and Manokin. Experiments were conducted in small pots in the greenhouse, in outdoor sand cultures, ...

A study was carried out over a two year period (2009/2010 and 2012/2013) on an experimental farm in the Alentejo region (Beja), in southern Portugal where rainfed malt barley (Hordeum distichum L.) is sown at the end of autumn or beginning of winter (November–December). The aim of this experiment was to study the efficiency of the herbicide iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium to control post-emergence b...

in order to evaluate of using planting pattern for reducing herbicides dose in corn (single cross 704), a field experiment was conducted in 2007 at research field of collage of agriculture, islamic azad university branch of takestan. the experimental design was randomized complete block with 18 treatments and using factorial design with 4 replications. treatments consisted of corn planting patt...

Many species that use or require early-successional forest are of conservation concern, including a number of songbirds that have experienced long-term population declines. In this study, our initial goal was to test whether herbicide application intensity was linked to offspring sex ratio in the White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys), a species that requires early-successional forest w...

the lack of herbicides for broadleaf weed control is one of the most important challenges of chickpea production in iran. field experiments were conducted in lorestan, kermanshah, east and west azerbaijan to evaluate weed control and chickpea response to application of some herbicides in 2006. there were four replications at each site and treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block ...

Chrysanthemoides monilifera ssp rotundata (L) T Norl (Bitou bush) is a serious environmental weed along the southeast coast of Australia. The herbicide glyphosate is commonly used to control C monilifera on the New South Wales coastline, but there have been few studies examining the effects of this herbicide on invertebrate communities in the field, especially on sand dunes. Control and impact ...

in order to study the efficiency of dual-purpose herbicides at different stages of wheat (triticum aestivum), an experiment was conducted at shoushtar in 2012. the experiment was factorial with randomized complete block design arrangement of factors and four replicates. factors were dual-purpose herbicide including apyros (sulfosulfuron), total (metsulfuron methyl+sulfosulfuron), chevalier (iod...
