Article Synopsis
  • Glyphosate-based weed control has led to higher usage of various herbicides, affecting microbial soil activity differently compared to single pesticide applications.
  • Research evaluated how glyphosate interacts with other pesticides like trifluralin and aldicarb on soil microbial activity and found glyphosate alone increased carbon (C) mineralization significantly.
  • The study concluded that glyphosate modifies soil's microbial response when combined with other pesticides, potentially impacting soil health.

The recent introduction of imidazolinone-tolerant rice varieties allow imazethapyr to be used in commercial rice. Little is known about imazethapyr photodegradation in the rice field. Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the direct and indirect photolysis rates for imazethapyr and to evaluate the photolysis of imazethapyr in three rice paddy waters.

Three red rice ecotypes (Oryza spp), including LA 5, MS 5 and TX 4, were evaluated for acetolactate synthase resistance/tolerance to imazethapyr. The red rice ecotypes were compared with a tolerant line (CL-121), a resistant line (CL-161) and a conventional rice variety (Cypress). Based on enzymatic activity, the mean I(50) values were 1.
