Abstract:
... The foliar nematodes, Aphelenchoides spp, have emerged as important pests of ornamentals in North America during the last decade. Due to the ban on the use of potentially toxic pesticides, there are currently no nematicides registered to manage foliar nematodes on ornamentals. Therefore, we have evaluated a biological [Burkholderia cepacia (syn Pseudomonas cepacia)], two plant products [clove (Syz ...

Two compounds were organic bases (fenpropimorph and imazalil) and four were organic acids (bentazone, primisulfuron-methyl, rimsulfuron and triasulfuron). The compounds covered a wide range of log K(OW) and pK(a) values. Concentrations in external sol ...

The molluscicidal activity of isolated compounds was evaluated on Biomphalaria alexandrina (Ehrenberg). Paraliane diterpene, (2S,3S,4R,5R,6R,8R, 12S,13S,14R,15R)-5,8,14-triacetoxy-3-benzoyloxy-15-hydroxy-9-oxo-paraliane, was the most potent compound against the ...

A simple method based upon allele-specific PCR was developed to detect an isoleucine-leucine substitution in the gene encoding chloroplastic acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) in two gramineous weeds: Lolium rigidum Gaud and Alopecurus myosuroides Huds. Analysis of 1800 A myosuroides and 750 L rigidum seedlings showed that the presence of ACCase leucine allele(s) conferred cross-resistance to ...

Abstract:
... The soil sorption coefficient Kd and the soil organic carbon sorption coefficient KOC of pesticides are basic parameters used by environmental scientists and regulatory agencies worldwide in describing the environmental fate and behavior of pesticides. They are a measure of the strength of sorption of pesticides to soils and other geosorbent surfaces at the water/solid interface, and are thus dire ...
