2, 4, 5 -T sprays on stone fruit: Tests reveal possible advantages of early fruit maturity as well as danger of injury to trees

California Agriculture, 1953
Spray application of 2,4,5-T—2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid—to certain stone fruits in exploratory experiments during 1951 and 1952 resulted in early fruit maturity, increased fruit size, enhanced color and a reduced preharvest fruit drop.

Insights into the biodegradation process of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid under anaerobic condition

Ecological Processes
Background Chlorophenoxy compounds represent a group of selective herbicides widely used around the world. Chlorophenoxy herbicides are toxic, chemically stable, and can migrate into groundwater through soil leaching, posing a significant threat to ...

Faba Bean Breeding in Australia: Past, Present and Future

Legume Science, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Faba bean is an important autumn‐sown grain legume in Australia, coming third in production and hectarage after lentil and chickpea. It is mostly grown in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland (QLD). Despite its introduction as early as European settlement in Australia, the crop did not get much attention until the ...

Growth regulators on apricots: Tests with several regulators indicate 2,4,5-T is best for increasing size, hastening maturity, controlling fruit drop

California Agriculture, 1956
A single spray of 2,4,5-T—2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid—applied to apricot trees at the beginning of pit hardening increased fruit size as much as 47%, hastened maturity, practically eliminated preharvest fruit drop, and, under certain conditions ...

Biodegradation of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid in soil by a pure culture of Pseudomonas cepacia [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1982
A pure culture of Pseudomonas cepacia AC1100 was able to degrade and grow in presence of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid in soil. At optimum temperature (30 degrees C) and moisture content (15 to 50% [wt/vol]) strain AC1100 could degrade as much as 95% of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid at high concentration (1 mg/g of soil) within 1 week.

Growth regulators on apricot: Seeds from apricot trees treated with growth regulators are inhibited in germination and any seedling growth is abnormal

California Agriculture, 1956
Stratified Tilton apricot seeds, from trees sprayed in the spring of 1954 with 2,4,5-T — 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid—to increase fruit size and reduce preharvest drop, germinated very poorly after being planted in the nursery row in March, 1955 ...

Regulation of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and chlorophenol metabolism in Pseudomonas cepacia AC1100 [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1983
The expression of the degradative genes encoding 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-TCP), and pentachlorophenol (PCP) dechlorination in a 2,4,5-T-degrading strain of Pseudomonas cepacia was examined during growth on alternate carbon sources. The dechlorination mechanisms for all three compounds were expressed in 2,

Impact of Nigrospora oryzae‐Derived Natural Products on Photosynthesis and Oxidative Stress in Eichhornia crassipes

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Interest in natural herbicides has been growing due to government policies restricting synthetic herbicide use in many countries. In that regard, this study investigates the potential of Nigrospora oryzae extract as a natural herbicide against the aquatic invasive weed Eichhornia crassipes.

Detoxification of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid from contaminated soil by Pseudomonas cepacia [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1983
The strain of Pseudomonas cepacia, AC1100, capable of utilizing 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) as a sole source of carbon and energy can degrade 2,4,5-T in contaminated soil, removing more than 99% of 2,4,5-T present at 1 mg/g of soil within 1 week. Repeated application of AC1100 even allowed more than 90% removal of 2,4,5-T within 6 weeks
