Site of action refers to the biochemical site within the plant with which the herbicide directly interacts. Some herbicide site of action interactions are well understood, others are unknown. Many of the well-known sites of action are enzymes or proteins essential to plant growth and development (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Also, some herbicides are believed to act at multiple sites.. Metabolism refers to the biochemical processes within the plant that generally modify herbicides to less toxic compounds. Differential rates of metabolism between crops and weeds is a primary method of crop selectivity to herbicides. One metabolic process may affect several different families of herbicides.. Herbicide families are a convenient way of organizing herbicides that share a common chemical structure and have similar herbicidal activity. Two or more herbicide families may affect the same site of action and therefore express similar herbicidal activity and injury symptoms. A biotype is a group of plants within ...

A field experiment was conducted to determine the interaction effects of herbicide timing and doses on the control of Sorghum halepense in maize. The experiment was a split plot in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Main plots were herbicide doses (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 g.ae of nicosulfuron) and sub-plots comprised herbicide timing (maize growth stages: 2-4 leaves, 4-6 leaves and 6-8 leaves). Standard dose response model was used to describe the relationship between weed biomass and herbicide doses at each herbicide application time. Estimated parameters showed that herbicide application delay increased U, L, ED50, ED90 parameters linearly. The highest yield of maize (20478.8 kg/h) was obtained by 2.5 lit/ha herbicide applied at 2-4 leaves of maize growth stage. Recommended dose of herbicide resulted in 12108.74 kg/h maize yield when it was applied at 6-8 leaves maize growth stage. In summary, 1.5 lit/ha herbicide applied at 2-4 leaves growth stage of maize gave acceptable

Sorghum acreage is declining throughout the United States because management options and yield have not maintained pace with maize improvements. The most extreme difference has been the absence of herbicide technology development for sorghum over the past twenty years. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the level of resistance, type of inheritance, and causal mutation of wild sorghums that are resistant to either acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides or acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS)-inhibiting herbicides. ACCase-inhibiting herbicides used in this study were aryloxyphenoxypropionate (APP) family members fluazifop-P and quizalofop-P along with cyclohexanedione (CHD) family members clethodim and sethoxydim. The level of resistance was very high for APP herbicides but low to nonexistent to CHD herbicides. With genetic resistance to APP herbicides, the resistance factors, the ratio of resistance to susceptible, were greater than 54 to 64 for homozygous individuals ...

Greetings Jeff: Yes, there are some preemergent herbicides that are labeled for tree planting practices. Some of the common preemergent herbicides I am familiar with include: Pendulum (many annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds) Oust (pre- and post emergent; some annual and biannual grasses and broadleaf weeds) Simazine (many annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds) You are required by law to follow the directions on the label of these herbicides. The aforementioned herbicides may be applied directly over the top of dormant trees, but not over the top of leafed-out trees. Again, it is very important that you follow the directions and rates listed on the herbicide label. Some of the aforementioned herbicides are not labeled for certain tree species. Here is a good resource from Wisconsin DNR: http://dnr.wi.gov/forestry/Fh/PDF/HerbicidesRegisteredforTreePlanting2006.pdf ...

Sprayed herbicides can drift as droplets, as vapours or as particles.. Droplet drift is the easiest to control because under good spraying conditions, droplets are carried down by air turbulence and gravity, to collect on plant or soil surfaces. Droplet drift is the most common cause of off-target damage caused by herbicide application. For example, spraying fallows with glyphosate under the wrong conditions often leads to severe damage to establishing crops.. Particle drift occurs when water and other herbicide carriers evaporate quickly from the droplet leaving tiny particles of concentrated herbicide. This can occur with herbicide formulations other than esters. Instances of this form of drift have damaged susceptible crops up to 30 km from the source.. Vapour drift is confined to volatile herbicides such as 2,4-D ester. Vapours may arise directly from the spray or evaporation of herbicide from sprayed surfaces. Use of 2,4-D ester in summer can lead to vapour drift damage of highly ...

Coastal waters of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) are contaminated with agricultural pesticides, including the photosystem II (PSII) herbicides which are the most frequently detected at the highest concentrations. Designed to control weeds, these herbicides are equally potent towards non-target marine species, and the close proximity of seagrass meadows to flood plumes has raised concerns that seagrasses may be the species most threatened by herbicides from runoff. While previous work has identified effects of PSII herbicides on the photophysiology, growth and mortality in seagrass, there is little comparative quantitative toxicity data for seagrass. Here we applied standard ecotoxicology protocols to quantify the concentrations of four priority PSII herbicides that inhibit photochemistry by 10, 20 and 50% (IC10, IC20 and IC50) over 72 h in two common seagrass species from the GBR lagoon. The photosystems of seagrasses Zostera muelleri and Halodule uninervis were shown to be generally more ...

When I began my masters degree program in 1969, there were already a lot of herbicides on the market. The transition from hand weeding to the herbicide era had been made. I honestly cannot remember if the introduction of a single herbicide like Treflan ended hand weeding in cotton or if it transitioned out - but it ended. Treflan introduced the dinitroaniline or DNA mode of action and other herbicides in this family such as Planavin quickly followed.. Diuron or Karmex had introduced the photosynthetic inhibitors in cotton and others such as Cotoran soon followed. These could be used pre-emergence and also as post-directed sprays. MSMA and DSMA had also come along to help with postemergence grass control.. Another very important herbicide mode of action had been introduced with Lasso for use in corn and soybeans. It provided weed control similar to Treflan but could be applied to the soil surface at planting.. I mentioned in a previous article that atrazine had been introduced in corn. It is ...

Mark VanGessel, Extension Weed Specialist; [email protected]. Herbicides are extremely effective products for controlling weeds and unwanted vegetation. When the herbicide lands in an area with desirable plants, it can cause discoloration, abnormal growth, or plant death. Off-target movement can have considerable consequences. Herbicides can move off target by a number of mechanisms, including: movement with water (leaching or run-off), physical drift (movement of small droplets by wind), and volatility (movement due high temperatures and moist conditions causing herbicides to vaporize after they are deposited on leaves or soil). Many herbicides can cause plant response at very low rates, particularly if the desirable plants are highly sensitive. Using application equipment and techniques to increase droplet size will reduce the likelihood of drift, but they will not overcome windy conditions. It is important to be aware of wind speed and direction. Most herbicide labels caution of increased risk ...

Many of the weed control techniques suggested on this and the following pages involve the use of herbicides. Herbicides are poisons, and should be handled with the greatest respect. They can be absorbed very easily through the skin, by breathing the vapours, and by ingestion (eating or drinking).. Always read the herbicide label to ensure the product is registered for the proposed purpose. By law, herbicides must be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturers label. The label provides detailed instructions on the use, application, storage, personal protective equipment requirements, first aid and disposal methods required. They should be kept well out of the reach of children, preferably secured in a locked cabinet. They should always be stored in the original labelled container.. USE OF HERBICIDE: SAFETY ...

Herbicides, also referred to as weedkillers, are Pesticides used to kill unwanted plants. Herbicides account for about 69% of all pesticide use in the United States, where they are used on around 90 million hectares, or around half of the countrys farmlands. Over 50% of this herbicide use is for corn, and 25% is for soy. Herbicides are also used both privately and publicly to control weeds in gardens and parks, on school grounds and sports fields, along roads, sidewalks, and fences, etc. The herbicide Agent Orange was used extensively in the Vietnam War to defoliate broadleaf plants. (Broadleaf refers to plants that have leaves that are not needles. Grasses, while technically having broad leaves, are typically categorized separately.). ...

Kochia (Kochia scoparia (L.) Schrad) is a troublesome and highly competitive weed in many cropping systems in the Great Plains region. It has traditionally been controlled using postemergence (POST) applications of glyphosate, however control is becoming inconsistent. Use of preemergence (PRE) herbicides may help to control kochia. Objectives of this research were to (1) Evaluate the efficacy of selected PRE herbicides in combination with POST applied glyphosate for controlling kochia in soybeans, (2) evaluate a kochia population (Norton) response to various rates of glyphosate compared to previously characterized highly susceptible (Syracuse) and moderately resistant (Ingalls) kochia populations, and (3) quantify the effects of herbicide rate, planting depth, soil pH, and soil type on corn, soybean, and grain sorghum tolerance to saflufenacil. Field studies showed that glyphosate applied alone did not always provide adequate season-long kochia control. In general, PRE herbicide treatments ...

Chlorophenoxy herbicides are a class of herbicide which includes: MCPA, 2,4-D, 2,4,5-T and mecoprop.[1] Large amounts have been produced since the 1950s for agriculture.[2] Acute toxic effects after oral consumption are varied and may include: vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, gastrointestinal haemorrhage acutely followed by coma, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, ataxia, nystagmus, miosis, hallucinations and convulsions.[3] Treatment with urinary alkalinization may be helpful but evidence to support this practice is limited.[1][3] ...

P. Capel, US Geological Survey;. F. Chang, Clarkson University;. M. Simcik, University of Minnesota;. M. Majewski, W. Foreman, S.Kalkhoff, R. Coupe, US Geological Survey. Program abstracts for 32nd annual North American meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry,November 13-17, 2011 Boston MA.. The use of herbicides to combat weeds is an important practice in modern agriculture. During the 1990s, crops which were genetically-modified (GM) to tolerate the effects of a specific herbicide, most commonly glyphosate, were introduced and widely accepted. In 2007, glyphosate-tolerant GM-soybeans, cotton and corn comprised 95, 80 and 59 percent of these crops, respectively. The widespread adoption of herbicide-tolerant GM crops has caused a major shift away from the use of conventional pre-emergent herbicides (triazines, acetanilides, etc.) towards glyphosate. During the 2007 growing season, the air and rain at agricultural sites in Iowa and Mississippi were monitored for 23 ...

Typically the best time to apply a fall burndown is from mid-October through mid-November. Herbicides can be applied after this time, but weeds are less susceptible to herbicides after a hard freeze. A typical burndown mix in the fall is a combination of glyphosate with 2, 4-D and/or Dicamba. This will allow control of emerged weeds early and put less pressure on spring burndown applications and make them more effective. A debated topic is whether to include a residual herbicide in the mix. A lot of this decision is dependent on the weather. A residual in the fall can keep a field clean until planting season, but in the event of a harsh cold winter, a residual can last too long and injure the next crop. Also in the event of a mild winter, the residual can break down quickly and allow winter annuals to emerge early spring. For these reasons, it is typically recommended to not outguess Mother Nature and to save your money on residual herbicides for in-season. Weed control is by far the most ...

By: Clark Brenzil, Provincial Specialist Weed Control. Recent cool weather is a reminder of the potential of poor performance of herbicide applications following a frost. Cold weather reduces the efficacy of herbicides significantly and, in some cases, also results in crop injury. This makes it the perfect time to get into some of the mechanics of cold on herbicide activity and guidelines around spraying after a frost. Were typically trying to control winter annual weeds, biennial weeds or the occasional perennial weed early in the spring, but annuals could already be emerged as a result of our warm winter and spring. Foliar systemic herbicides are common in pre-seeding or pre-emergent burnoff, as well as in-crop treatments. The foliar systemic herbicides for burnoff include glyphosate (Group 9), Group 2 herbicides and Group 4 herbicides. Groups 2 and 4 are also used in in-crop and glyphosate post-emergent in glyphosate tolerant canola. This could also apply to Group 1 herbicides and, to some ...

Broadly, two categories of mechanisms operate. The first one involves target site resistance that includes alterations in the herbicide binding site and over-production of the target site. The second category includes non-target site resistance where reduced uptake and enhanced metabolism of the herbicide as well as its sequestration leads to development of resistance. Target site resistances include amino acid substitutions in or around the binding site as in case of AC Case and ALS inhibitors. Most widespread cases of resistances include resistance to inhibitors of photo systems I and II, acetolactate synthase (ALS), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (AC Case), protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), carotenoid synthesis, EPSP synthase and mitosis inhibitors. Resistance may also occur due to limitations in translocation of the herbicide molecules to the target site due to their degradation by enzymes. One such group of enzymes include the cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. Resistance could also be due to more ...

Non-differential exposure misclassification is one of the largest concerns in occupational case-control studies and is likely to lead to an underestimate of the true odds ratio. Because we were unable to directly measure personal exposure to triazine herbicides, a surrogate measurement of cumulative exposure was constructed from a JEM. There are many factors that influence how the amounts of herbicide used in any given location relate to the levels in the air and soil including half life, adherence to soil, method of application, and weather conditions.16-18 Although the JEM estimate may be a reasonable proxy for exposure, many factors influence uptake of the herbicide so it is important to realise that the JEM is essentially a method to rank subjects relative to one another on a continuous scale rather than the traditional categorical scales.. Two major strengths of the study were the use of the prompt list to aid recall of work histories and the comprehensiveness of the California DPR ...

By S. D. Wells. As reported on Natural News by David Gutierrez in October of 2014: A field of unregulated genetically modified (GM) wheat has been discovered growing wild in Montana, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced. No varieties of GM wheat have been approved for cultivation in the United States, but this is the second plot discovered growing on its own in less than a year and a half.. Do you think those two plots of genetically modified wheat are the only two out there? When wheat carries the traits of herbicide resistance, that means more and more herbicide will have to be sprayed as the weeds become resistant too. Agrochemical giant Monsanto is at it again, developing GM herbicide-resistant wheat. This time around, the wheat will be resistant to THREE different chemical herbicides: glyphosate, glufosinate and dicamba. Back in 2013, an Oregon farmer found Monsantos original Roundup Ready wheat growing in his fields. Monsanto had claimed to stop developing that ...

Renowned agricultural economist Dr. Charles Benbrook was commissioned by Greenpeace to make the first ever forecast of how Europe would be impacted by authorising the cultivation of genetically engineered herbicide tolerant corn, soy and sugar beet. Greenpeace has also travelled through Argentina and USA to speak to farmers and their communities about how herbicide tolerant crop monocultures have affected their economy, environment and community. These first person accounts formed the basis for the documentary Growing Doubt (the film above). Witness accounts from Argentina and USA and Dr. Benbrooks forecast report present a grim view of a future Europe: the over-reliance on herbicide-tolerant crops in the U.S. has triggered the emergence and rapid spread of nearly two dozen glyphosate-resistant weeds, driving up farm production costs, as well as the volume and toxicity of herbicides needed to prevent major yield loss. Europe will face a similar reality by 2025, should herbicide tolerant ...

Liberty herbicide (glufosinate ammonium) does not kill Pioneer Hi-Breds genetically engineered (GE) Liberty Link corn, even though it is taken up and translocated throughout the plant, because the corn inactivates the herbicide. Genes engineered into the corn produce enzymes in every cell of the corn plant that change glufosinate ammonium into N-acetyl-L-glufosinate, or NAG. When you eat the corn, though, you are also eating NAG that accumulated in the crop with each herbicide application. Some of that NAG may be transformed back into the toxic herbicide in your gut, possibly by bacteria. Two studies with rats showed conversion rates of 1% and 10% respectively, while a study with goats showed conversion of more than one-third. The revived herbicide may travel to kidneys, liver, muscle, fat and milk, where it may be toxic ...

Description: Glyphosate based herbicides are among the most widely used herbicides in the world. The purpose of this study was to determine developmental toxicity of glyphosate, the active ingredient in the common herbicide Roundup, on developing chicken embryos. Few studies have examined toxic effects of glyphosate alone versus the full compound formulations of Roundup, which include adjuvants and surfactants. Adjutants and surfactants are added to aid in solubility and absorption of glyphosate. In this study chicken embryos were exposed at the air cell on embryonic day 6 to 19.8 or 9.9 mg / Kg egg mass of glyphosate in Roundup or glyphosate only. Chickens treated with 19.8 and 9.9 mg / Kg glyphosate in Roundup showed significant reduction in survivability compared to glyphosate alone treatments and controls. On embryonic day 18, embryos were sacrificed for evaluation of developmental toxicity using wet embryo mass, dry embryo mass, and yolk mass as indicators. Morphology measurements were ...

A laboratory experiment was completed to determine the effect of the herbicides Alister Grande 190 OD, Fuego 500 SC and Lumax 537.5 SE on counts of actinomycetes as well as the activity of enzymes and their resistance to herbicides. Sandy loam was mixed with appropriate doses of the herbicides, such as: 0 - the control, 1 - technological dose and doses 20-, 40-, 80- and 160-fold higher than recommended. On day 20, 40, 80 and 160, counts of actinomycetes and activity of urease, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase were determined. For 160 days, soil was incubated at 25°C and its moisture content was maintained on a constant level equal 50% of water capillary capacity. On days 20 and 80 of the experiment, the ecophysiological (EP) and colony development (CD) indices were computed. Additionally, the resistance (RS) of enzymes to the herbicides was assessed on day 20 and their resilience index (RL) was determined on day 160. It has been found out that soil contamination with herbicides ...

Dr Aaron Davis Researchers at James Cook University have found new types of weedkiller used on sugar cane farms are in many cases just as harmful, or worse, for the Great Barrier Reef as the restricted chemicals they replaced.. Herbicide runoff from farms is known to damage microalgae, seagrass and corals. In 2009 several types of weed killers had severe restrictions placed on their usage in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area, effectively forcing the sugar industry to find alternative herbicide products.. But work led by JCUs Dr Aaron Davis has found that many of the alternatives are no better, and in some cases possibly worse from an environmental perspective, than some of the regulated herbicides they replaced. We ran virtually all the herbicides in the sugarcane industry through the environmental models. Many had almost identical toxicity or runoff properties, or worse, than what they replaced, Dr Davis said.. He said some of these replacement herbicides were not subject to the new ...

What kinds of problems can poor water quality cause in a herbicide solution? For one, if water contains high levels of acidity and/or dissolved minerals, these may interact with the active and/or additive ingredients in the herbicide formulation. Poor-quality water also can adversely influence the herbicide by reducing the solubility and decreasing absorption by the target plant, resulting in poor performance.. These problems might not always drastically reduce performance, but even a slight drop may be enough to cause significant control issues when treating particularly difficult species, or species that are tolerant to certain herbicides. And if this happens, water quality often is overlooked as the culprit. The immediate suspects are factors such as improper tank-mixing, poor weather conditions at the time of application or perhaps the herbicide used.. Test your water ...

The residue definitions of acidic herbicides according to regulation (EC) No. 396/2005 include the esters, salts and conjugates of the respective herbicide. The conjugates can contribute significantly to the total amount of the respective herbicides determined in routine samples. An alkaline hydrolysis step is applied to quantify residues of the conjugates in routine samples. Up to now, the hydrolysis has not been included in proficiency tests. P1804-MRT is designed to meet the analysis of acidic herbicides in accordance with the residue definition and thus including the hydrolysis. The test material consists of a homogenate (100 g) of vegetables or fruits (to be defined), which is spiked with a selection of free acids, esters and conjugates of acidic herbicides. Expected time schedule. ...

Research lead by a team from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand has found that commonly used herbicides, including the worlds most used herbicide Roundup, can cause bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics. This is the first study of its kind in the world. The team at the University of Canterbury investigated what happens to species of disease-causing bacteria when

Genetically modified (GM) herbicide-tolerant (HT) crops have been largely adopted where they have been authorized. Nevertheless, they are fiercely criticized by some, notably because of the herbicide use associated with them. However, how much herbicide is applied to GMHT crops compared to conventional crops, and what impacts does the use of herbicide have? The paper first presents some factors explaining the predominance of GMHT crops. Then, trends in the use of herbicide for GM crops are studied in the case of the most widespread HT crop: HT soybean in the USA. The trends in the toxicity of herbicides applied to HT soybean are also addressed, as well as the appearance of glyphosate-resistant (GR) weeds. Lastly, the paper examines the spread of GR weeds and its impact. How are farmers, weed scientists, and the industry coping with this development, and what are the prospects of glyphosate-tolerant crops given weed resistance? In conclusion, some issues of sustainability and innovation governance raised

Oregon is one of the best tree-growing regions in the world, but even our fast-growing, native species such as Douglas-fir can be smothered by weeds and other broadleaf plants. Both native species such as vine maple and invasive species such as Scotch broom and Himalayan blackberry can quickly overtake seedlings.. New trees need to outgrow the faster-growing weeds and brush around them in order to survive their first few years. In fact, landowners are required by state law to make sure this happens. Thats why private forest landowners use herbicides to control competing plants and let the trees get a head start. After the trees are 8 to 10 feet tall they will shade the ground, and the weeds will die off naturally due to lack of sunlight.. Herbicides are typically applied on any piece of ground just two to four times within 40 or 50 years. By the time young trees enter their second or third year, they are usually outgrowing the other vegetation. At that point, theres no need to apply herbicides ...

This website primarily uses the HRAC system because it is the classification system used in most countries. In the HRAC classification system there are 25 herbicide Groups. Group Z is unusual in that it represents herbicides with mechanisms that are not well understood. There are 4 Group Zs. Although the sites of action of Group Z herbicides are not well know, we know that they fall into at least four groups that dont act at the same site of action. So we have Z - Organoarsenicals, Z - Arylaminopropionic acids, Z - Pyrazoliums, and Z - Uknown ...

Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant. It is an organophosphorus compound, specifically a phosphonate. It is used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that compete with crops. It was discovered to be an herbicide by Monsanto chemist John E. Franz in 1970. Monsanto brought it to market in 1974 under the trade name Roundup, and Monsantos last commercially relevant United States patent expired in 2000. Farmers quickly adopted glyphosate, especially after Monsanto introduced glyphosate-resistant Roundup Ready crops, enabling farmers to kill weeds without killing their crops. In 2007, glyphosate was the most used herbicide in the United States agricultural sector and the second-most used in home and garden (2,4-D being the most used), government and industry, and commerce. By 2016 there was a 100-fold increase from the late 1970s in the frequency of applications and volumes of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) ...

The Agrichemical industry and state/ federal scientists are trying to bring new herbicides and tools to the market to give managers more options for managing aquatic plants. In the last 5 years, 3 new herbicides have been registered for aquatics (triclopyr, imazapyr, and carfentrazone). Currently, there are 4 additional herbicides with experimental use permits (EUP) granted by EPA or applied for (penoxsulam, imazamox, flumioxazin, and bispyribac sodium), and hopefully more will be submitted for EUP status in the near future. While these new EUP products typically have good toxicity profiles that will aid in the aquatic registration process (some are classified as reduced risk products), they also have a single site of action in plants, which increases the chances for resistance to occur.. For example, 3 of the herbicides currently being developed for hydrilla control are classified as acetolactate synthesis (ALS) inhibitors (penoxsulam, imazamox, and bispyribac sodium). ALS-inhibitors affect a ...

Vulpia bromoides is a grass species naturally tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicides. The mechanism of tolerance to ALS herbicides was determined as cytochrome P450-monooxygenase mediated metabolic detoxification. The ALS enzyme extract partially purified from V. bromoides shoot tissue was found to be as sensitive as that of herbicide susceptible Lolium rigidum to ALS-inhibiting sulfonylurea (SU), triazolopyrimidine (TP), and imidazolinone (IM) herbicides. Furthermore, phytotoxicity of the wheat-selective SU herbicide chlorsulfuron was significantly enhanced in vivo in the presence of the known P450 inhibitor malathion. In contract, the biochemical basis of tolerance to ACCase inhibiting herbicides was established as an insensitive ACCase. In vitro ACCase inhibition assays showed that, compared to a herbicide susceptible L. rigidum, the V. bromoides ACCase was moderately (4.5- to 9.5-fold) insensitive to the ...

Protection from glyphosate, a common herbicide is important to maintain gut health. Herbicides are implicated in a wide variety of systemic disorders.

Identifying nontarget crop and ornamental plant damage or injury from herbicides has become much easier. Dr. Kassim Al-Khatib, weed science professor at UC Davis and director of the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program (UC IPM), has gathered nearly a thousand photos of herbicide-damaged plants, drawn from his own and others research. The images are cataloged to show damage that can occur from 81 herbicides in more than 14 specific herbicide modes of action, applied in the field to demonstrate the symptoms or when known herbicide spray has drifted onto the plant.

Identifying nontarget crop and ornamental plant damage or injury from herbicides has become much easier. Dr. Kassim Al-Khatib, weed science professor at UC Davis and director of the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program (UC IPM), has gathered nearly a thousand photos of herbicide-damaged plants, drawn from his own and others research. The images are cataloged to show damage that can occur from 81 herbicides in more than 14 specific herbicide modes of action, applied in the field to demonstrate the symptoms or when known herbicide spray has drifted onto the plant.

Roundup PROMAX® Herbicide is one of the family of Monsantos Industrial, Turf and Ornamental herbicides. This herbicide controls broad-spectrum broadleaf weeds, grasses, vines and brush.

The team used genome-wide association study. They grew 761 grain sorghum inbred lines in a greenhouse and compared plants treated with safener only, herbicide only, or both safener and herbicide. They found specific genes and gene regions that were switched on in the safener-treated plants, and they were genes that coded for two GSTs. Sorghum is also known to produce allelochemicals, including dhurrin, a chemical with a cyanide group. The research group also found that some genes involved in dhurrin synthesis and metabolism were triggered in response to safeners too ...
