sulfonylurea herbicides mixtures with phenoxy herbicides can lead to effective control of broadleaved weeds. pot experiments were conducted to study the effect of foramsulfuron and nicosulfuron mixtures with 2,4-d plus mcpa on redroot pigweed and common lambsquarters in 2010 at the greenhouse of agricultural faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. experiments were performed as a comple...

Herbicides have made a large contribution to reducing the workload of crop production. While herbicides with various modes of action are currently used, sulfonylurea herbicides, which were developed starting in the 1970s, are in widespread use worldwide, and they hold the central position in weed control in Japan as paddy rice herbicides. However, as is the fate of agricultural chemicals that a...

Asia minor bluegrass (Polypogon fugax) is a common annual grass weed of winter crops distributed across China. We conducted a study on the resistance level and the mechanism of resistance to ACCase-inhibiting herbicides in a P. fugax population from China. Whole-plant dose-response experiments in greenhouse showed that the resistant P. fugax population was 1991, 364, 269, 157, and 8-fold resist...

BACKGROUND Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicides are important products for the post-emergence control of grass weed species in small grain cereal crops. However, the appearance of resistance to ACCase herbicides over time has resulted in limited options for effective weed control of key species such as Lolium spp. In this study, we have used an integrated biological and molecul...

Abstract The phenylurea herbicides are an important group of pesticides used extensively for pre- or post-emergence weed control in cotton, fruit and cereal crops worldwide. The detection of phenylurea herbicides and their metabolites in surface and ground waters has raised the awareness of the important role played by agricultural soils in determining water quality. The degradation of phenylur...

The herbicidal properties of sulfonylureas (SU's) were first reported in 1966 (Koog, 1966). The early SU's were derivatives of triazine herbicides. George Levitt of DuPont noted that SU's having aniline as the aryl group exhibited weak plant-growth regulatory activity while the aminopyrimidine derivative displayed very high biological activity (Levitt, 1983; Sauers and Levitt, 1984). Soon compa...

Modern herbicides make major contributions to global food production by easily removing weeds and substituting for destructive soil cultivation. However, persistent herbicide selection of huge weed numbers across vast areas can result in the rapid evolution of herbicide resistance. Herbicides target specific enzymes, and mutations are selected that confer resistance-endowing amino acid substitu...

It is said that there are more than 5800 kinds of weeds, which significantly do harm to the agricultural production and weed control has always been an important issue in agrochemical practice. Chemical agents, that is herbicides, are used widely in the world in protecting crops from undue competition from weeds. The main chemical classes of herbicides(Tadeo et al., 2000) include bipiridilium c...

Herbicides that inhibit acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) are commonly used in Mexico to control weedy grasses such as little seed canarygrass (Phalaris minor). These herbicides are classified into three major families (ariloxyphenoxypropionates (APP), cyclohexanodiones (CHD), and, recently, phenylpyrazolines (PPZ)). In this work, the resistance to ACCase (APP, CHD, and PPZ) inhibiting her...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether exposure to lawn or garden chemicals was associated with an increased risk of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder in Scottish Terriers. DESIGN Case-control study. ANIMALS 83 Scottish Terriers with TCC (cases) and 83 Scottish Terriers with other health-related conditions (controls). PROCEDURE Owners of study dogs completed a written quest...
