Herbicide diversity needed to keep Roundup effective
Using a diverse herbicide application strategy may increase production costs, but a five-year Purdue University study shows the practice will drastically reduce weeds and seeds that are resistant to a popular herbicide. view more (2009-07-14)
Weed resistance to glyphosate in genetically modified soybean cultivation in Argentina
The article written by Rosa Binimelis, Walter Pengue and Iliana Monterroso, is the product of collaborative work among the Autonomous University of Barcelona, University of Buenos Aires and the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences in Guatemala. view more (2009-05-27)
Organic plant waste proves effective weed control for citrus trees
Interest in organic crop production is increasing around the world. Organics are healthy for consumers while adding environmental benefits and decreasing the amount of synthetic herbicides in foods, soil, and water. view more (2008-12-29)
Herbicide-Tolerant Crops Can Improve Water Quality
The residual herbicides commonly used in the production of corn and soybean are frequently detected in rivers, streams, and reservoirs at concentrations that exceed drinking water standards in areas where these crops are extensively grown. view more (2008-04-23)
Alternative agricultural practices combine productivity and soil health
The progressive degradation of useful soils for agriculture and farm animal husbandry is a growing environmental and social problem, given that it endangers the food safety of an increasing world population. view more (2009-07-27)
GM Crops Shown to Decrease Damage to Environment
The increase in cultivation of herbicide-resistant GM Canola (also known as rapeseed) in Canada has led to a significant decrease in herbicide use, says research published in the journal Pest Management Science. This has led to a decrease in the environmental impact of weed control and could have similar effects elsewhere in the world. view more (2004-10-20)
Researchers describe 'implausible' chemistry that produces herbicidal compound
A soil microbe that uses chemical warfare to fight off competitors employs an unusual chemical pathway in the manufacture of its arsenal, researchers report, making use of an enzyme that can do what no other enzyme is known to do: break a non-activated carbon-carbon bond in a single step. view more (2009-06-11)
Pitt Research Finds That Low Concentrations of Pesticides Can Become Toxic Mixture
Ten of the world's most popular pesticides can decimate amphibian populations when mixed together even if the concentration of the individual chemicals are within limits considered safe. view more (2008-11-12)
