A modified Fenton reagent (Fe(3+)/H(2)O(2)) transformed the fungicide chlorothalonil within 60 min in aqueous solution at unadjusted pH. Transformation varied with ferric salt. Transformation was greatest with ferric nitrate and least when ferric sulfate was used. UV irradiation enhanced the transformation of chlorothalonil. The transformation of chlorothalonil was enhanced, which increased with ferric ion or hydrogen peroxide concentration. Maximum transformation was achieved at 2 mM ferric ion and 100 mM hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, chlorothalonil was more dechlorinated in the UV irradiation condition. The proposed reaction pathway includes reduction of chlorothalonil to trichloroisophthalonitrile, dichloroisophthalonitrile, and monochloroisophthalonitrile; oxidation of trichloroisophthalonitrile to trichloro-3-cyanobenzoic acid and 3-carbamyltrichlorobenzoic acid; and oxidation of hydroxychlorothalonil to trichloro-3-cyanohydroxybenzoic acid and trichlorocyanophenol.

School of Nuclear Technology and Chemistry & Biology, Hubei University of Science and Technology, Xianning, 437100, China.
A series of new arecoline derivatives containing amino acid fragments were synthesized, and their fungicidal activities were investigated. All synthesized compounds were characterized by H NMR, CNMR, and HRMS. Preliminary bioactivity assays demonstrated that Compounds 3k, 3n, 3p, 3q, 3r, and 3s exhibited significant antifungal activity against Botryosphaeria cactivora, Botryosphaeria dothidea, and Fusarium pseudograminearum at a concentration of 100 μg/mL.

There is growing interest in transcriptomic points of departure (tPOD) values from in vitro experiments as an alternative to animal test method. The study objective was to calculate tPODs in rainbow trout gill cells (RTgill-W1 following OECD 249) exposed to pesticides, and to evaluate how these values compare to fish acute and chronic toxicity data. Cells were exposed to one fungicide (chlorothalonil), ten herbicides (atrazine, glyphosate, imazethapyr, metolachlor, diquat, s-metolachlor, AMPA, dicamba, dimethenamid-P, metribuzin), eight insecticides (chlorpyrifos, diazinon, permethrin, carbaryl, clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, chlorantraniliprole), and OECD 249 positive control 3,4-dichloroaniline.

Cercosporidium personatum (CP) causes peanut late leaf spot (LLS) disease with 70% yield losses unless controlled by fungicides. CP grows slowly in culture, exhibiting variable phenotypes. To explain those variations, we analyzed the morphology, genomes, transcriptomes and chemical composition of three morphotypes, herein called RED, TAN, and BROWN.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widely distributed mycotoxin and potent carcinogen produced by several fungal genera, but mainly by . Grape contamination occurs in vineyards during the period between veraison and pre-harvest, and it is the main cause of OTA's presence in wine. The aim of the current study was the evaluation of 6 chemical and 11 biological plant protection products (PPPs) and biocontrol agents in commercial vineyards of the two important Greek white wine varieties cv.

To determine the compatibility of two new biocontrol fungi with common chemical pesticides, this study examined the effects of three insecticides, namely, avermectin, imidacloprid, and acetamiprid, and three fungicides, namely, chlorogenonil, boscalid, and kasugamycin, on the mycelial growth and spore germination of strains IF-1106 and IJ-tg19. The insecticidal effects of mixed insecticides or fungicides with good compatibility with IJ-tg19 against were tested. The results showed that the six chemical pesticides exerted different degrees of inhibition on the mycelial growth of both strains, with an obvious dose-dependent effect.
