Herbicides have facilitated weed management but their incorrect use can lead to environmental contamination. Reducing herbicide use by limiting their application to a band along the crop row can decrease their environmental impact. Three field experi...

Pesticide use cannot be completely abandoned in modern agriculture. Among agrochemicals, glyphosate is one of the most popular and, at the same time, most divisive herbicide. Since the chemicalization of agriculture is detrimental, various attempts a...

Intentional use of low dosage of herbicides has been considered the cause of non-target resistance in weeds. However, herbicide drift could be a source of low dosage that could be detected by weeds and change their metabolism. Furthermore, the minimu...

Weeds are one of the major constraints in crop production affecting both yield and quality. The excessive and exclusive use of synthetic herbicides for their management is increasing the development of herbicide-resistant weeds and is provoking risks...

The results demonstrated that among the total 365 investigated samples, the proportion of samples detecting three target herbicides simultaneously, two herbicides, one herbicide, and none were 0.3%, 6.4%, 65.2%, and 23.2%, respectively. For samples w...

Tomatoes are often grown in proximity to other crops such as grain, which can increase their susceptibility to herbicide drift and subsequent crop. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of simulated herbicide drift on toma...

This study examines the impact of weeds on sweet corn, where weeds compete for essential elements, such as nutrients, water, sunlight, and space for growth. In general, the use of herbicides is meant to suppress weed growth. Soil organic matter is im...

Sonchus oleraceus is becoming a hard-to-control weed in Australian cropping systems, especially in glyphosate-tolerant cotton and during summer fallows. Several biotypes of this weed have developed resistance to glyphosate as a result of common manag...

Summer annual weed species in northern Australian summer fallows are frequently present at low densities and, increasingly, are glyphosate-resistant, creating the need for alternative herbicides for site-specific weed control. Alternative non-selecti...

False cleavers (Galium spurium L.) is an annual broadleaf weed, commonly found in cereal crops around the world. It reduces crop yields mainly by the competition for nutrients and plant lodging, which decreases the photosynthetic rate of cultivated p...

Controlling black-grass in winter wheat production in northern Europe is an increasing problem because of more frequent winter crops and development of herbicide resistance in weeds. Alternative weed management strategies are needed, e.g., use of mor...

Weeds are a big problem in agriculture and forestry, and herbicides are the main tools to control them. Phosphinotricin (ammonium glufosinate, PPT) is one of the most effective non-selective herbicides, to which weeds hardly gain resistance, but the...

The use of hollow-fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME) is very promising for the clean-up, enrichment, and analysis of chlorophenoxyacetic acid herbicides and their metabolites from environmental and biological samples. An on-line methodology...

For more than two decades, glyphosate has been relied on to control summer annual weeds in fallow systems in Australia’s northern grains region. With numerous cases of glyphosate resistance reported in weed species collected from this region, t...

Aquatic ecosystems can suffer inadvertent contamination from widely used herbicides. This study delves into the relative toxicity of 36 herbicides on green algae, exploring 11 distinct modes of action and 25 chemical structure classes. Through a 72-h...

In recent years, Ghanaian agriculture has witnessed a surge in the use of agrochemicals, with the likely consequence that nonoptimal levels of application could cause environmental damage and economic losses. We identify the factors that affect the a...

Microbial communities play crucial roles in the biogeochemical cycling of many important soil elements. Pesticides are known to affect non-targeted soil microorganisms. Glyphosate (GP) and diquat (DQ), two commonly used non-selective herbicides, ofte...

Glyphosate-based herbicides are the dominant products used internationally for control of vegetation in planted forests. Few international, scientific syntheses on glyphosate, specific to its use in planted forests, are publically available. We provi...

Adoption of diverse weed management practices is viewed as essential for slowing the spread of herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds. Yet, adoption of diverse tactics has remained low, while there has been explosive growth of resistant weeds. This study ana...

Only a limited number of contact herbicides exist in agricultural production. While systemic herbicides are more efficient also at suboptimum spray coverage with long-lasting weed control, contact herbicides provide several advantages. There is no tr...

Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii (Rupr.) Herder) and wintercreeper (Euonymus fortunei (Turcz.) Hand.-Maz.) are important invasive plants in Midwestern U.S. forests. We studied how two herbicides at two concentrations combined with three concentrati...
