in order to evaluate the effect of rimsulfuron, eptc (eradican), oxadiargyl, metribuzin and metribuzin herbicides for controling of lambsquarter (chenopodium album) and prostrate pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus), an experiment was conducted at the mohaghegh ardabili university green house in 2008. a dose-response assay was conducted based on completely randomized design with four replications. ...

abstract in order to efficacy evaluation of some new herbicides to control of weeds in corn, a set of field studies were conducted in 2007 at 4 province of iran, including tehran (varamin), khuzestan, fars, and kermansh. treatments were arranged in a rcbd design with four replications. treatments consisted of ultima (nicosulfuron+nimsulfuron), lumax (mesotrion+s-metolacholor+terbuthlazine), ami...

Herbicides are usually applied multiple times by growers for season long weed control in Florida citrus (Citrus sp.). Rimsulfuron, a sulfonylurea herbicide has been recently registered for control of certain grasses and broadleaf weeds in citrus. To increase the weed control spectrum and reduce application cost, citrus growers often prefer to tank mix herbicides. Field experiments were conducte...

A Section 3 registration is being requested for ShadeoutJ which contains the herbicide, rimsulfuron. This registration is for a new use of rimsulfuron to control weeds in tomato fields. The proposed tolerance for rimsulfuron on tomatoes is 0.1 ppm. The critical acute No-Observed-Effect Level (NOEL) was 500 mg/kg/day based on a ruffled fur and transient weight losses in rats after a single expos...

The changes in fatty acid composition o f maize leaf lipids caused by EPTC were generally similar to known effects o f this herbicide in other plants: decreasing o f linolenic acid content and increasing o f its precursors, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids. However, novel effects were detected in roots where the proportion o f minor fatty acid palmitoleic acid was increased from 2.1 ...

The weight of epicuticular wax on the surface of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata ;Market Prize') leaves was reduced by soil treatments of ethofumesate (2-ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranyl methanesulfonate) and EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate). Separation of epicuticular wax into major components by gas-liquid chromatography indicated that ethofumesate decreased the dep...

Panicoid grasses are major weeds of maize and sugarcane as well as of several other important grains, including sorghum, pearl millet, and foxtail millet. Pot trials were conducted to study the activity and potential interactions of topramezone in mixture with recommended rates of rimsulfuron or nicosulfuron on three annual panicoid grasses (i.e. Echinochloa oryzoides, E. phyllopogon, and Panic...

A nematicide (fenamiphos) and a herbicide (EPTC) were injected into a sprinkler irrigation system separately and as tank mixtures and applied in 25.4 kl water/ha for nematode and weed control on snapbean. There were no differences (P = 0.05) between methods of injection of fenamiphos + EPTC on efficacy or crop response. The root-gall indices of cultivars Eagle and GV 50 were lower in fenamiphos...

By comparison of the Proteus mirabilis HI4320 genome with known lipopolysaccharide (LPS) phosphoethanolamine transferases, three putative candidates (PMI3040, PMI3576, and PMI3104) were identified. One of them, eptC (PMI3104) was able to modify the LPS of two defined non-polar core LPS mutants of Klebsiella pneumoniae that we use as surrogate substrates. Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic r...

The complex roles of cell surface modification in the biofilm formation of Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of worldwide foodborne diarrheal disease, are poorly understood. In a screen of mutants from random transposon mutagenesis, an insertional mutation in the eptC gene (cj0256) resulted in a significant decrease in C. jejuni NCTC11168 biofilm formation (<20%) on major food contact surface...
