Degradation of tricyclazole: Effect of moisture, soil type, elevated carbon dioxide and Blue Green Algae (BGA).

Pesticide persistence and degradation in soil are influenced by factors like soil characteristics, light, moisture etc. Persistence of tricyclazole was studied under different soil moisture regimes viz., dry, field capacity and submerged in two different soil types viz.

Influence of drought stress on cellular ultrastructure and antioxidant system in tea cultivars with different drought sensitivities.

Drought is the major yield-limiting abiotic factor of tea cultivation. In the present study, influence of drought stress on cellular ultrastructure and antioxidants was studied drought-tolerant (TV-23) and -sensitive (S.3/A3) tea cultivars by imposing drought stress for 21 days.

Behavior and bioefficacy of tribenuron-methyl in wheat (Triticum astevum L.) under irrigated agro-ecosystem in India.

Possible bioaccumulation of pesticides in crop produce may cause ill effects on animals and humans. Tribenuron-methyl is a new post-emergence herbicide and is highly efficient to control the broad-leaf weeds in cereals, pasture, and plantation crops. There are scarce studies on its bioefficacy, sensitivity to weeds, tolerance to wheat, and persistence in crop produce, which are important information required before recommending an herbicide for use by the farmers.

Changes of growth, photosynthesis and alteration of leaf antioxidative defence system of tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] seedlings under aluminum stress.

Tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] is an aluminum (Al) hyperaccumulator plant and is commercially important due to its high content of antioxidants.

Bis(3,5-dinitro-benzoato-κO)tetra-methano-lcobalt(II).

The Co(II) atom (site symmetry ) in the title complex, [Co(C(7)H(3)N(2)O(6))(2)(CH(3)OH)(4)], exists within an octa-hedral O(6) donor set defined by two O-monodentate 3,5-dinitro-benzoate anions and four methanol O atoms. An intra-molecular O(m)-H⋯O(c) (m = methanol and c = carbon-yl) hydrogen bond leads to the formation of an S(6) ring. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules associate via further O(m)-H⋯O(c) hydrogen bonds, leading to linear supra-molecular chains propagating along the a-axis direction.
