Tolerance of plantain (Plantago lanceolata) to translocated herbicides wiped on flower stems
ABSTRACT Growing plantain (Plantago lanceolata) within pastures reduces nitrate leaching following grazing. Plantain is usually grown with grass and clover species, making selective weed control challenging. One strategy to selectively remove tall weeds in pastures with mixed species is to apply herbicides using weed wipers. However, for many months of

Isolation and Characterisation of Bacterial Metabolites as Potential Wood Preservatives [PDF]
The durability of wood has traditionally relied on the use of heavy metals and toxic compounds to deter wood degrading fungi. Conventional wood preservatives such as Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) have been widely used to control wood degrade for many ...

Is co‐existence and/or containment of genetically modified plants possible, and is it important?
ABSTRACT Co‐existence and containment of genetically modified (GM) plants has been a contentious issue since GM technologies were first commercially released in the mid‐1990s. In the first decade of commercial GM plant use, there were a significant number of contamination incidents resulting from GM presence in non‐GM crops and seed, some with a ...
