The main objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of a model for simulating the uptake of various pesticides on passive air samplers (PAS). From 2006-2007 a series of PAS using XAD-resin were deployed at Egbert, a rural agricultural site in southern Ontario, Canada, to measure the uptake of pesticides for time periods ranging from two months to one year. A continuous increase in ...

The herbicides alachlor, linuron, vernolate, and metribuzin were applied to plots treated with the nematicide fensulfothion or the insecticide phorate and planted to soybean in two locations in North Carolina. In 1976 treatment with fensulfothion + alachlor or vernolate, phorate + alachlor or metribuzin resulted in greater nematode population densities than no treatment, or treatment with fensu...

Binding of the triazinone derivative metribuzin to thylakoid membranes was studied in depend­ ence of tem perature and trypsin pre-treatm ent of the chloroplasts. The tem perature curve of the binding constant suggests that the lipid phase of the membrane contributes to inhibitor binding. Trypsin pre-treatm ent of the membranes removes the receptor sites for the inhibitor, while the trypsin eff...

Farmers in the Midwestern United States continue to be reliant on soil-applied herbicides for weed control in crop production, and herbicide contamination of streams remains an environmental problem. The main objective of this study was to analyze trends in concentration and load of acetochlor, alachlor, metolachlor, and metribuzin in Goodwater Creek Experimental Watershed (GCEW) from 1992 to 2...

abstractgrowth of b. japonicum isolates at different concentrations of herbicide used on soybean was studied as factorial experiment arranged in a completely randomized design with three replications. isolates b1, b6, b43 and 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 folded of the recommended doses of trifluralin, metribuzin and imazethapyr herbicides were considered as factors. isolates populatio...

Herbicide degradation is one of the key processes determining whether use herbicide will have any impact on environmental quality, and it dependent various biotic abiotic factors. The present study evaluates factors such as soil type, application rate, incubation temperature, pH, microorganisms sunlight persistence metribuzin its effect enzymes. Half-lives (DT50) varied significantly with rate ...

A field study was conducted in the boro season of 2011-12 and aman season of 2012 at Jessore, Bangladesh, to evaluate the performance of sequential applications of preemergence herbicides (oxadiargyl 80 g ai ha(-1), pendimethalin 850 g ai ha(-1), acetachlor + bensulfuranmethyl 240 g ai ha(-1), and pyrazosulfuron 15 g ai ha(-1)) followed by a postemergence herbicide (ethoxysulfuron 18 g ai ha(-1...

Metribuzin is a pre- and post-emergence triazinone herbicide used in variety of crops. This degraded the environment into three major metabolites that have high water solubility, to very soil mobility, low moderate persistence soil. paper describes development an analytical method based on ultrasound-assisted extraction GC-MS/MS determination for metribuzin its main plants. The developed provid...

Citrus (Citrus spp.) is one of the most important crops in Florida agriculture. Weed control is a major component in citrus production practices. If not controlled, weeds may compete with citrus trees for nutrients, water, and light and may also increase pest problems. Herbicides are an important component of integrated weed management program in citrus. Saflufenacil, a new herbicide registered...

In the Atlantic Coastal Plain region of southern Georgia (USA), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) acreage increased threefold in the past decade. To more effectively protect water quality in the region, best management practices are needed that reduce pesticide runoff from fields in cotton production. This study compared runoff of two herbicides, fluometuron [N,N-dimethyl-N'-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-p...
