Atrazine, chlorpyrifos, and iprodione effect on the biodiversity of bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi in a pilot biopurification system with a green cover
(2017)The use of biopurification systems can mitigate the effects of pesticide contamination on farms. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pesticide dissipation on microbial communities in a pilot ... -
Dissipation and adsorption of isoproturon, tebuconazole, chlorpyrifos and their main transformation products under laboratory and field conditions
(2016)Assessment of dissipation constitutes an integral part of pesticides risk assessment since it provides an estimate of the level and the duration of exposure of the terrestrial ecosystem to pesticides. Within the frame of ... -
The effect of glyphosate on human sperm motility and sperm DNA fragmentation
(2018)Glyphosate is the active ingredient of Roundup®, which is one of the most popular herbicides worldwide. Although many studies have focused on the reproductive toxicity of glyphosate or glyphosate-based herbicides, the ... -
Effects of weed control methods on seed yield, seed protein and percentage of seed hardiness in annual medic (Medicago scutellata cv. Robinson)
(2012)Annual medics alongwith high quality residues production are capable to produce high percentage of hardseeds which play a significant role in sustainability of Ley-farming system. To study the effect of two selective ... -
Insights into the function and horizontal transfer of isoproturon degradation genes (pdmAB) in a biobed system
(2020)Biobeds, designed to minimize pesticide point source contamination, rely mainly on biodegradation processes. We studied the interactions of a biobed microbial community with the herbicide isoproturon (IPU) to explore the ... -
Microbial Degradation of Organophosphorus Xenobiotics: Metabolic Pathways and Molecular Basis
(2006)Organophosphorus (OP) xenobiotics are used worldwide as pesticides and petroleum additives. OP compounds share the major portion of the pesticide market globally. Owing to large-scale use of OP compounds, contaminations ... -
MONITORING CASTOR BEANS MATURITY VIA REMOTE SENSING
(2022)Castor is a crop with an evergreen habit so artificial induced ripening is an essential precondition for mechanical harvesting of new dwarf annual hybrids. Plants water content impose a determinant effect both on preharvest ... -
Nicosulfuron application in agricultural soils drives the selection towards NS-tolerant microorganisms harboring various levels of sensitivity to nicosulfuron
(2016)The action mode of sulfonylurea herbicides is the inhibition of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) required for the biosynthesis of amino acids valine and isoleucine in plants. However, this enzyme is also present in a ... -
Weed interference with peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.) and spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) crops under different herbicide treatments: effects on biomass and essential oil yield
(2018)BACKGROUND: ‘Minor crops’ such as spearmint and peppermint are high added value crops, despite the fact that their production area is comparably small worldwide. The main limiting factor in mint commercial cultivation is ...
