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 ...

Do spatially targeted weed management strategies increase risk of herbicide resistance evolution?

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Spray‐buffers reduce the effect of detection inaccuracies in spot spraying. We found a trade‐off between short‐term weed population control efficacy and long‐term prevention of herbicide resistance evolution. Abstract Background Spatially targeted spraying is an alternative to broadcast herbicide application that reduces herbicide use by restricting ...

Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

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.

Identification, quantification, and management of human health risks from long‐distance pesticide transport

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Pesticides can move through air, water, and global trade networks after application, exposing populations far from the original source, while most risk assessments and regulations still treat pesticide exposure as a local problem. This perspective offers a new framework to define, trace, and quantify long‐distance pesticide risk across connected ...

Characterizing geographic diversity of acetolactate synthase resistance in US johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) biotypes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Geographical distribution of screened Sorghum halepense biotypes across the USA illustrating variation in nicosulfuron response driven by associated ALS resistance‐allele frequencies among representative biotypes. Abstract BACKGROUND Acetolactate synthase (ALS)‐inhibiting herbicides are widely used for Sorghum halepense weed control across ...

Determination of bromoxynil and ioxynil in the presence of carbamates by supported liquid membrane-liquid chromatography in river waters

Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Ethiopia, 2003
Sample pre-treatment and enrichment using the supported liquid membrane (SLM) technique for the determination of phenolic nitrile herbicides in presence of carbamates in river water samples was investigated.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.
