Herbicides Have Minimal and Variable Effects on the Structure and Function of Bacterial Communities in Agricultural Soils. [PDF]
In vitro analysis of glyphosate impacts does not reflect dynamics in the agroecosystem. This study indicates the importance of a diverse, cooperative microbiome in field soils that could improve resilience of the community that cannot be achieved in a laboratory setting.

Resistance to the herbicides haloxyfop and iodosulfuron is common in commercial ryegrass (Lolium) seed lines. [PDF]
Eleven variety lines had resistance detected for iodosulfuron only, six to haloxyfop, and 28 to both herbicides. No seedlings were detected with resistance to glyphosate. Abstract Background Ryegrass (Lolium spp.) is a key forage providing a $14 billion contribution to New Zealand's gross domestic product (GDP). However, ryegrass can also act as a weed

Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.

Targeted review of maximum residues levels (MRLs) for haloxyfop-P. [PDF]
Abstract In compliance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) received a mandate from the European Commission to perform a targeted review of the existing maximum residues levels (MRLs) for the active substance haloxyfop‐P to check whether the existing EU MRL in onions, sunflower seeds and soya beans ...

Effects of anthropogenic stress on hosts and their microbiomes: Treated wastewater alters performance and gut microbiome of a key detritivore (Asellus aquaticus). [PDF]
Abstract Human activity is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary change in wild populations and can have diverse effects on eukaryotic organisms as well as on environmental and host‐associated microbial communities. Although host–microbiome interactions can be a major determinant of host fitness, few studies consider the joint responses of ...

Volunteer rapeseed infestation and management in corn
Abstract The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different termination timings for rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) cover crop on biomass production, termination efficiency, and volunteer infestation in the successive cash crop (corn, Zea mays), and control of volunteer rapeseed with herbicides.

Abstract The ability of Poa annua L. to adapt to most turfgrass environments extends to its ability to develop resistance to commonly used herbicides. Herbicide resistant P. annua is of almost epidemic proportions. The loss of once viable chemical‐based treatments pushes practitioners towards more expensive, and often less effective, control strategies.

Abstract Pesticides are widely employed as a cost‐effective means of reducing the impacts of undesirable plants and animals. The aim of this paper is to develop a risk ranking of transmission of key pesticides through soil to waterways, taking into account physico‐chemical properties of the pesticides (soil half‐life and water solubility), soil ...
