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 ...

crop residue is a non-chemical method of weed control in agricultural sustainable systems. this research was conducted at the alarogh site of ardabilto evaluate the effect of integrated use of mulch and herbicide on weed emergence and growth in potato in 2007. treatments were four levels herbicide including: (1) paraquat [n,n'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridinium dichloride] herbicide as pre-pl...

An experiment was carried out at Regional Research Station, Wadura, SKUASTKashmir during 2012-2013 to evaluate different herbicides in gladiolus. The experiment consisted of eight different herbicides, cultural practices as weed control treatment and unweeded control and were replicated thrice in randomised block design. Among four herbicides i.e atrazine, metribuzin, butachlor and pendimethali...

Some herbicides are suspected of promoting teratogenic, carcinogenic and mutagenic events. Detection of induced mitotic crossing-over has proven to be an indirect way of testing the carcinogenic properties of suspicious substances, because mitotic crossing-over is involved in the multistep process of carcinogenesis. We examined mitotic crossing-over induced by two commercial herbicides (diuron ...

in order to study of barely and wheat cultivars tolerance to metribuzin, a factorial experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design, with three replications in greenhouse of agricultural research at ferdowsi university of mashhad. treatments included wheat cultivars (backcross roshan, cross arvand, bahar, sepahan, gascosion, sayonez, bam garmsiry, garmsiri, ghods, pishtaz, chamran a...

chlorophyll fluorescence induction is a rapid and noninvasive technique for measuring photosynthetic electron transport in plants. chlorophyll fluorescence measurements were performed under greenhouse condition to characterize how the fluorescence induction curves (kautsky curve) and its parameters were affected by metribuzin in susceptible and resistant junglerice (echinochloa colona (l.) link...
