Antioxidant activity of Juglans regia L. and Rumex obtusifolius L. leaf extracts and screening for their allelopathic potential [PDF]
Secondary plant metabolites with allelopathic activity or phytotoxicity could be biotechnologically important, serving as a source of allelochemicals, and thus contributing to the agro-industrial sector.

Over 300,000 people die each year from pesticide poisoning. Most result from self-poisoning by ingestion, rather than occupational or accidental exposures which are typically topical or inhalational. Severe pesticide poisoning is more common in the rural developing world where pesticides are widely used in smallholder agricultural practice and ...

Effects of Nanoparticles on Double-Stranded RNA Stability in Corn Soil [PDF]
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) can potentially be used as a pesticide because these molecules trigger an immune response called RNA interference (RNAi). If the expression of essential genes matching the dsRNA sequence are silenced, then the pest dies.

Insecticide Effects on Normal Development and Hatch of Embryos of \u3ci\u3eParatanytarsus Parthenogeneticus\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Chironomidae) [PDF]
Simple, low cost methods are needed to determine the effect of pesticides on non-target aquatic organisms. In this report, embryos of Paratanytarsus parthenogenetic us were exposed from deposition to hatch to five pesticides.

Control of mushroom sciarid fly Lycoriella inguena (Dufour) with an azadirachtin-based insecticide [PDF]
The impact of a bioinsecticide based on azadirachtin (Ozoneem trishul 1 %) on the abundance of mushroom flies (Sciaridae: Diptera) was compared to the effect of a commercial formulation of the malathion-based chemical insecticide Etiol tečni. Experiments
