Evaluation of "Goal" as a cotton defoliant when used alone and in combination with other chemicals. [PDF]

, 1979
"Goal," also known as Oxyfluorfen, which chemically is 2 chloro-1- (3-ethoxy-4-nitrophenoxy) -4-Inf luoroniethyl) benzyne, was evaluated alone and in combination with Def and sodium chlorate for its potential as a cotton defoliant. The cotton plants were

Simple plant–plant interaction patterns predict structural niche and fitness differences in a multitrophic grassland community

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how species interactions relate to biodiversity requires linking complex interaction networks to coexistence mechanisms. In diverse communities, interactions span trophic levels and include pairwise and higher‐order effects, yet their relative importance for explaining population dynamics remains poorly understood.

An extinction‐emergency metacollection: Maximising future recovery options for Rhodomyrtus psidioides (Myrtaceae), threatened by Myrtle Rust

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
A challenge for wild plant conservation is the rising incidence of plant pathogens that are difficult to interdict, contain and manage. Invasive, fast‐moving, broad‐spectrum pathogens impose societal costs through losses of intrinsically valuable wild biodiversity, ecosystem function, current and potential genetic and biological assets, culturally ...

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.

Controlled incubation, leachate, and pot assays of shrimp shell‐based compost for suppressing Verticillium dahliae in olive

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Shrimp shell compost suppresses Verticillium dahliae microsclerotia, enhances chitinase activity, lowers olive wilt severity and improves plant recovery under controlled conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND Verticillium wilt of olive (Olea europaea L.), caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb., is difficult to manage because long‐lived microsclerotia persist in

Determination of total risk of defoliant application in cotton on human health and environment

, 2009
Turkey is one of the biggest cotton producing countries in the world. Defoliant is applied on 17% of the Turkey cotton production, which is similar to average defoliant application in the world.

Absorption and translocation of 14C‐propiconazole associated with two adjuvants in young coffee plants

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Experimental workflow evaluating 14C‐propiconazole absorption and translocation in Coffea arabica with two biodegradable adjuvants, quantified at six post‐application time points using radioscanner and liquid scintillation spectrometry. Abstract BACKGROUND This study evaluated the absorption, translocation and distribution of 14C‐propiconazole applied ...

Investigation of Intercomponent Interactions in Chlorate–Chloride Systems Applied as Defoliants [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
In order to investigate defoliant formulations used for the cultivation of agricultural crops and the improvement of their productivity, the physicochemical properties and intercomponent interactions in a multicomponent system consisting of 84.3% [Ca ...

Persistence of seed‐applied pesticides in soybeans: environmental influences and implications for crop protection

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Early soybean planting in cool, wet soils slows emergence and results in about half the insecticide and fungicide concentrations at vegetative emergence compared with standard planting, where faster emergence maintains roughly double the pesticide concentrations, yet pesticide persistence remains similar across both planting dates.

Evaluating the Effect of Pulse Width Modulation-Controlled Spray Duty Cycles on Cotton Fiber Quality Using Principal Component Analysis

AgriEngineering
The optimization of cotton defoliant application is critical for enhancing fiber quality and yield. This study aims to assess the impact of different defoliant duty cycles on cotton fiber quality by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to High ...
