The Differences between the Effects of a Nanoformulation and a Conventional Form of Atrazine to Lettuce: Physiological Responses, Defense Mechanisms, and Nutrient Displacement
(2021-01-01)
The rapid development of nanotechnology influences the developments within the agro-sector. An example is provided by the production of nanoenabled pesticides with the intention to optimize the efficiency of the pesticides. ...
Review on the occurrence and biological effects of illicit drugs in aquatic ecosystems
(Springer, 2020-05-02)
Illicit drugs (IDs) and their metabolites are recognized as contaminants of emerging concern. After consumption, illicit drugs are partially metabolized and excreted unchanged in urine and feces or as active metabolites ...
Transgenic cotton-fed Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) affects the parasitoid encarsia desantisi Viggiani (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) development
(Springer, 2015-10-02)
Cotton cultivars expressing Cry proteins are widely used to control lepidopteran pests. The effects of transgenic plants containing insecticidal Cry proteins on non-target species must be comprehended for a better and ...
A preliminary study on the effects of a transgenic corn event on the non-target pest Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)
(Elsevier, 2010-06)
The inclusion of the cry gene in corn may produce direct effects on non-target pests. Our research was focused on the relationship between Bt corn germplasm, expressing the cry1F protein to control the fall armyworm ...
Arthropods biodiversity index in Bollgard® cotton (Cry1Ac) in Brazil
(2013-12-01)
Shannon-Wiener's diversity index (SWI) was used under untreated conditions of a cotton field during the 2006/2007 crop season in the Cerrado region, Brazil. Comparison was carried out between the transgenic NuOpal® ...
Effects of soybean proteinase inhibitors on development of the soil mite Scheloribates praeincisus (Acari : Oribatida)
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Proteinase inhibitors (PI) are present in plant tissues, especially in seeds, and act as a defense mechanism against herbivores and pathogens. Serine PI from soybean such as Bowman-Birk (BBPI) and Kunitz have been used to ...
Decreases mycorrhizal colonization and affects plant-soil feedback
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)
Our aim was to study the effects of glyphosate, tilling practice and cultivation history on mycorrhizal colonization and growth of target (weeds) and non-target (crops) plants. Glyphosate, the world's most widely used ...
Experimental methods for estimation of plant fitness costs associated with herbicide-resistance genes
(Weed Science Society of America, 2015-01)
Since the beginning of agriculture, crops have been exposed to recurrent invasion by weeds that can impose severe reductions in crop quality and yield. There have been continuing efforts to reduce the impacts of weeds on ...
