ABSTRACT - Sowing forage grass species of the genera Urochloa and Panicum simultaneously with corn can hinder crop grain yield, requiring the application of low herbicide rates for suppressing their growth and preventing potential competition with corn plants. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the use of low rates of the herbic...
Goosegrass (Eleusine indica) is one of the predominant weeds in soybean in Brazil, and it has already been reported as a problem in almost 27 million hectares of soybean area. Currently, the primary herbicides used for controlling goosegrass are glyphosate and clethodim. Farmers observed decreased goosegrass control with EPSPS and ACCase inhibitor ...
Plant protection products (PPPs) have historically been one of the classes of chemical compounds at the frontline of raising scientific and public awareness of the global nature of environmental pollution and the role of trophic interactions in shaping the impacts of chemicals on ecosystems. Despite increasingly strong regulatory measures since the...

The aim of this study was to formulate novel biomixtures with the ability to dissipate globally used pesticides. For this, an effective stabilization of two wastes, poultry litter and activated sewage sludge, was achieved through a combination of composting and vermicomposting, with the aid of the earthworm Eisenia fetida. Hence, two different mixt...
The potential connection between exposure to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) and breast cancer risk is a topic of research that is rapidly gaining the publics attention due to the conflicting reports surrounding glyphosates potential carcinogenicity. In this review, we synthesize the current published biomedical literature works t...
In a national park in Northeast Thailand, agricultural land has been converted from natural forest by small-scale farmers for cassava agriculture. We hypothesise that long-termed cassava monoculture leads to the degradation of soil properties. To test the hypothesis, we conducted a five-year (2016–2020) study on the physical and chemical properties...
Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) are essential molecules with significant physiological and structural functions in plants. These fatty acids, which have acyl chains of 20 or more carbons, can be modified into components of key lipids such as phospholipids and sphingolipids of membranes, triacylglycerols (TAGs) in seeds, cuticular waxes in the e...

The experiment was conducted in one of the farmers’ fields during season (2022-2023) in Nineveh Governorate at two locations, first one in Al-Nimrood, and second one in Hammam Al’aleel. The experiment included two factors: the first factor was chemical herbicides (Navigator, Timeline Trio) at the recommended concentrations, in addition to the contr...

The registration of herbicides in the European Union requires an assessment of risks to nontarget terrestrial plants (NTTPs). Regulatory plant studies are performed to determine risk-assessment-relevant endpoints (50% effect rate) for quantitative parameters, mostly biomass and survival. Recently, the European Food Safety Authority stated that endp...

A field experiment was conducted in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq for the 2022-2023 agricultural season in the fields of the Agricultural Research Station in Erbil / Ain Kawa Governorate on 5/28/2022. With the aim of knowing the effect of the herbicides (imazethapyr and the mixture of bentazone + Calant Super) and the recommended quantities for each...
