Reaction of Glycin with Malononitrile afforded respective Pyrrole. Pyrrole is one of the heterocyclic compounds with very important biological activities. Heterocycles are extremely important because of their wide range of applications that goes from their use as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals to dyestuffs and additives. In this view, it was proposed to synthesize pyrrole-3-carbonitrile deri...

The contamination of food and water through waste and agricultural runoff poses serious threats to humans. Pollution with microbes causes noticeable diarrheal diseases, whereas agrochemicals, heavy metals, fluoride, and toxins cause insidious diseases and premature deaths. Chronic kidney disease of unknown origin (CKDuo) was first seen in dry-zonal agricultural regions in equatorial countries i...

The environmental impact of agriculture cannot be ignored. In many countries, as much as 70 per cent of the land area is in agricultural use. Over a third of the global agricultural land area is in high-intensity, continuous cropping systems that use high levels of agrochemicals and reshape land and waterways. The rest is under such a farming system that uses far fewer inputs, but requires rela...

In the context of complex field problems compatibility of an efficacious insecticide with other agrochemicals normally used in the field is essential. In this view emamectin benzoate 5 SG 11 g a.i. ha -1 was tested with commonly used insecticide, fungicide and fertilizers. Studies were conducted in both laboratory (physical and phytotoxcity experiment) and field experiments (bio efficacy and ph...

Use of agrochemicals is a worldwide practice that exerts an important effect on the environment; therefore the search of approaches for the elimination of such pollutants should be encouraged. The degradation of the insecticides imiprothrin (IP) and cypermethrin (CP), the insecticide/nematicide carbofuran (CBF) and the antibiotic of agricultural use oxytetracycline (OTC) were assayed with the w...
