Metolachlor and atrazine are two of the most widely used herbicides in the Midwest. Detection of pesticides in drinking water resources has increased interest in the environmental fate of these compounds in soil, surface water, and groundwater.

Effect on the characterization of metolachlor polyurea microcapsules with urea instead of polyamines
In this paper, a novel metolachlor microcapsules suspension (CS) was prepared by interfacial polymerization. Metolachlor polyurea microcapsules suspension was successfully prepared by urea instead of polyamines which could reduce the use of organic ...

Effects of atrazine, metolachlor, carbaryl and chlorothalonil on benthic microbes and their nutrient dynamics. [PDF]
Atrazine, metolachlor, carbaryl, and chlorothalonil are detected in streams throughout the U.S. at concentrations that may have adverse effects on benthic microbes.

Genetic mapping of a Miscanthus sacchariflorus × M. sinensis F2 population identified 37 QTLs associated with winter‐hardiness, including repeated regions across traits and years. Favorable alleles from the hardy M. sacchariflorus parent and candidate cold‐stress genes highlight targets for marker‐assisted breeding of winter‐hardy biomass cultivars ...

ABSTRACT Pediatric cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The etiologies of pediatric cancer are largely unknown, but environmental pesticide exposures are likely to contribute. Chronic low‐dose exposure to pesticide mixtures through drinking water is a growing concern in agricultural communities.

Corn tolerance and weed control with amicarbazone and metribuzin applied preemergence
Abstract Since the late 1950s, atrazine has been a cornerstone of corn (Zea mays L.) weed control, but decades of use have raised concerns about groundwater contamination and enhanced biodegradation. Therefore, amicarbazone and metribuzin were evaluated as alternatives to preemergence use of atrazine in corn.

Can soil detoxifiers mitigate crop injury from residual herbicides?
Abstract Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) growers have limited herbicide options for in‐crop application, so they rely on weed control in rotational crops to minimize weed problems. Sugarbeet is sensitive to many herbicides used in corn (Zea mays L.), a common rotational crop, which effectively reduces weed control options elsewhere in the rotation ...
