The biodegradation of the chiral phenoxyalkanoic herbicides 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic aid (2,4-DP) and 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid (MCPP) was investigated using enantioselective HPLC and chiroptical detection. Racemic mixtures of 2,4-DP and MCPP were applied to three species of turf grass, four species of broadleaf weeds, and soil. Preferential degradation of the S-(-) enantiomer of each herbicide was observed in most species of broadleaf weeds and soil, while the degradation in all species of grass occurred without enantioselectivity. The biodegradation in all systems appeared to follow pseudo first-order kinetics with the fastest degradation occurring in broadleaf weeds, followed by the grasses. The slowest degradation was observed in soil. The results of this work illustrate the need to characterize both enantiomers of chiral agrochemicals in order to have an accurate understanding of their distribution and fate in the environment.

Background: Fomesafen is a selective herbicide widely used to control post-emergent broad-leaf weeds in soybean and peanut fields. Because of its persistent nature in soil, it can suppress subsequent crops, including wheat. There is limited information focusing on methods of protecting wheat from fomesafen injury by soil residue.

Article Synopsis
- Tribenuron-methyl (TBM) is a popular herbicide in Iran for managing broadleaf weeds in wheat due to its low toxicity, effectiveness, and lower cost, but farmers face issues with its performance and resistance.
- A study involving 240 weed populations from 153 wheat fields revealed that over half (51.7%) exhibited resistance to TBM, with specific species like Sinapis arvensis and Malva neglecta showing significant resistance rates.
- This research highlights the growing problem of herbicide resistance in Iranian wheat fields and emphasizes the need for future management strategies to prevent yield loss and environmental harm.
-cinnamoyltyramine (NTCT) has been identified from an allelopathic Vietnamese rice accession OM 5930. This study employed bioassays to analyze NTCT's effects on shoot and root growth of multiple test and weed species. NTCT demonstrated potent inhibitory effects on cress, lettuce, canola, palmer amaranth, timothy, barnyardgrass, red sprangletop, and weedy rice, with increasing concentrations leading to substantial reductions in growth in all species.
