A common practice in highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) culture is to use combinations of insecticides and fungicides to reduce the number and cost of pesticide applications. In response to apparent phytotoxicity observed in commercial fields that were treated with combinations of diazinon and captan formulations, phytotoxicity of two formulations of diazinon (Diazinon AG600 and Diazi...

AIM To evaluate whether caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), a flavonoid-like natural compound plentifully found in beeswax, has a protective effect on diazinon-induced serum cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Animals were divided into 4 groups. The first animal group was not treated with any substance. The second animal group was orally given a 200 mg/kg body weig...

Resistance to insecticides remains a major problem for the successful control of the horn Xy, Haematobia irritans irritans (L.), one of the most important pests of cattle in many countries including the United States. The organophosphate (OP) insecticide diazinon has been used to control pyrethroid-resistant populations of the horn Xy. There are only a few reported cases of horn Xy resistance t...

Flooded post-harvest rice paddies were examined as systems for reducing diazinon (organophosphate insecticide) concentrations in stormwater runoff. Two paddies were cultivated in Oryza sativa L. and amended with a 3-h simulated stormwater diazinon runoff event. Initial diazinon adsorption peaked at 347 and 571 μg kg (3% mass load reduction) for mean above-ground plant tissue concentrations in e...

Diazinon merupakan pestisida organofosfat yang paling umum digunakan untuk mengendalikan hama. Konsumsi produk pertanian mengandung residu diazinon mengakibatkan akumulasi dan metabolitnya pada hati menimbulkan stress oksidatif. Kulit bawang merah ( Allium cepa L.) flavonoid kuersetin dapat mengikat radikal bebas, menginduksi aktivitas enzim berperan penting dalam perbaikan sel, meningkatan jum...

Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to clone two esterase cDNAs from a diazinon-resistant field population of horn flies that expresses qualitative and quantitative differences in esterases compared with a susceptible population. The open reading frame from one of the esterase cDNAs, HialphaE7, exhibits substantial amino-acid identity to an esterase associated with di...

The goal of this study was to examine the use of a constructed wetland to mitigate the ecological impacts of simulated diazinon runoff from agricultural fields into receiving waters, via 48 h aqueous and sediment bioassays using Hyalella azteca. Aqueous animal 48 h survival varied temporally and spatially in conjunction with measured diazinon concentrations. Sediment H. azteca survival varied t...

Diazinon is a widely used pesticide in agriculture. So, the current work aimed to investigate the effects of diazinon exposure on some physiological and biochemical parameters, as well as, histopathological changes and histochemical acetyl-cholinesterase activity (AChE). The red Baladi rabbits were dipped into water (Control Group), diazinon at low concentrations of 0.6 mg diazinon low concentr...

Yaygın olarak kullanılan bir pestisit olan diazinon hedef olmayan canlılar üzerinde toksik etkilere sahiptir. Bu çalışma, diazinonun meristem hücrelerinde teşvik ettiği toksisiteye karşı zencefilin koruyucu ve iyileştirici etkisini fizyolojik, genotoksik biyokimyasal parametrelerle araştırmayı hedeflemiştir. Ayrıca kök meydana gelen hasarlar incelenmiştir. amaçla A. cepa soğanları 6 gruba ayrıl...

The widespread use of cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides in the environment presents increasing concerns about their effects on human, wildlife, and ecosystem health. As a group, these pesticides are generally highly toxic and have great potential for negatively affecting nontarget organisms. Small mammals have proven to be ideal biomonitors of environmental contaminants, and were used here t...
