The 23 quaternary and tertiary protoberberines related to berberine were tested for in vitro and/or in vivo fungicidal and herbicidal activities. Among the compounds tested, there was some activity observed with some of only the protoberberinium salts, but not sufficiently strong or broad spectrum for agrochemical use. From the structure-activity point of view, some features can be pointed out.

The proliferation of weeds, pests, and plant diseases in crop cultivation has driven the increased application of herbicide lactofen, insecticide acetamiprid, and fungicide carbendazim, contributing to environmental pollution. Microorganisms are requently employed to remove pesticide residues from the environment. However, Liquid bacterial agents encounter difficulties in transportation and preservation during application and the current immobilized bacterial agents have a single degradation function.

The interaction between plants and microorganisms plays a major role in plant growth promotion and disease management. While most microorganisms directly influence plant health, some indirectly support growth through pest and disease suppression. Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi are diverse, easily localized, and have long-lasting effects on insect pests.

Pyridazine and pyridazinone belong to the same group of six-membered heterocyclic compounds, and both structurally feature two adjacent nitrogen atoms. Pyridazine and pyridazinone derivatives are frequently used as core structures in the development of new green agrochemicals due to their high activity and environmental friendliness, attracting significant attention from researchers in recent years. Over the past 20 years, significant developments have occurred in the field of pyridazine and pyridazinone derivatives, which exhibit insecticidal, fungicidal, herbicidal, antiviral, and plant growth regulating activities.

Animal feed significantly influences the content and quality of animal products consumed by humans and plays a crucial role in the food chain. To simultaneously analyze 345 pesticide residues in poultry feed, a modified Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) method was developed, utilizing gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Validation studies were conducted with spiked pesticide standards, and commercial poultry feed samples were analyzed.
