Evaluation of Organic Herbicides [PDF]
Cover crops, cultivation, flaming, soil solarization, and mulching are commonly used for weed control in organic production systems. However, several new herbicides, approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI), are recommended as contact, non-selective, post-emergence herbicides for annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Citric acid (Alldown)

An Overview on Bio Herbicides in Organic Horticulture
For organic horticulturists, weeds are one of the most difficult, time consuming, or costly production concerns. As the consequence of the organic agriculture has grown, so has the demand for innovative bio pesticides to control weeds. Pathogens, organic chemicals, and natural fiber extracts might all be employed to develop viable bio herbicides ...

Organic meat products contaminated with carcinogenic herbicide
A storage depot in east Germany has been identified as the source of several hundred tonnes of organic animal feed contaminated with the herbicide nitrofen. Before the reunification of Germany in 1990, the depot, in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, was used for storing the herbicide.

Diquat Herbicide Organophosphate Poisoning and Multi-Organ Failure: A Case Report
A 63-year-old male landscaper presented to our emergency department (ED) following unintentional ingestion of an herbicide including diquat, a highly lethal toxin. Poison control was consulted, and treatment was centered around emergency hemodialysis to mitigate the nephrotoxic effects of diquat. Unfortunately, our patient did not survive.

Mulching vs. organic soil amendment: Effects on adsorption-desorption of herbicides
Mulching and organic soil amendment are two agricultural practices that are being increasingly used to preserve soil from degradation, although they may modify the fate of herbicides when applied in soils subjected to these practices. This study has set out to compare the impact of both agricultural practices on the adsorption-desorption behaviour of ...

Effect of an organic residue on herbicide field dissipation [PDF]
The aim of this work was to study the effect of the application of a solid waste from olive oil production (alperujo) on the movement and persistence of the herbicide diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea]. The application of alperujo, fresh or composted, to the land has been shown to be an extremely effective contribution to increasing crop ...

Marine organisms as sources of C4-weed-specific herbicides. [PDF]
Imagine that you are a plant propagule looking for a home. You find a nice warm sunny place where the nutrients wash over you and think that you have arrived in paradise. And, what is more, there are few other plants with which to compete. However there are many animals close by in the form of corals and sponges and a variety of animals which make up ...

A zero-valent iron and organic matter mixture enhances herbicide and herbicide degradation product removal in subsurface waters [PDF]
The pesticide atrazine, its degradation products, and 2,6-dichlorobenzamide (BAM) are persistent in groundwater environment. We studied whether their dissipation can be enhanced with a mixture of a complex carbon source and zero-valent iron (ZVI) called EHC®.

Preemergence Herbicides for Radishes Grown on Organic Soils
Abstract Three studies were conducted to evaluate preemergence herbicides for weed control efficacy and crop tolerance in radishes (Raphanus sativus L.) grown on organic soils. Herbicides evaluated were CDEC, metolachlor, alachlor, pendimethalin, thiobencarb, propachlor, metribuzin, and pronamide.
