An extraction method based on metal-organic framework has been developed and applied to acetanilide herbicides, including metazachlor, propanil, pretilachlor, and butachlor, in black beans, red beans, and kidney beans. The acetanilide herbicides are extracted with a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane. The extract solution is absorbed and purified with metal-organic framework MIL-101 (Zn). The separation and determination of four acetanilide herbicides were implemented by high-performance liquid chromatography. The experimental parameters were evaluated by a univariate method and orthogonal experiments. The presented method can obtain effective extraction and purification. The detection limits for metazachlor, propanil, pretilachlor, and butachlor were 0.58, 0.90, 1.78 and 1.18 µg/kg, respectively. The average recoveries of the acetanilide herbicides at spiked concentrations of 10, 50, and 100 µg/kg ranged from 86.9% to 119.0%, and relative standard deviations were equal to or lower than 2.80%.

Metolachlor is the most heavily used member of acetanilide herbicides, which are noted for forming highly soluble metabolites in root zone soils soon after field application. The two primary metabolites of metolachlor, metolachlor ethane sulfonic acid (MESA) and metolachlor oxanilic acid (MOXA), retain the same chiral chemistry as their source and are important tracers of nitrate loading from agricultural cropland. New analytical methods for separating the isomers of MESA and MOXA, enable studies assessing changes in the abundance of atropisomer pairs of the carbon chiral enantiomers in environmental samples.

Chloroacetamide herbicides are widely used to control weeds globally. In this study, three acetochlor-degrading mixed cultures using nitrate, sulfate, and ferric iron as electron acceptors were isolated and determined for their degradation under anaerobic conditions. The degradation rates of all mixed pure cultures in a mineral medium were not much different at 1 µM, while the rates at 50 µM were in the order: mixed culture using nitrate > sulfate > ferric iron as electron acceptors, giving 6.

Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome is on the rise globally, especially in rural areas where pesticides are frequently used, leading researchers to examine the effects of six common agricultural pesticides on fat cell development and metabolism.
- The study found that acetochlor, one of the herbicides tested, caused fat cell growth in lab experiments and harmful effects in zebrafish, including deformities and increased death rates at certain exposure levels.
- The research revealed that acetochlor appears to disrupt cellular lipid balance by inhibiting an important antioxidant enzyme (GPX4), causing harmful lipid buildup and triggering stress responses in cells, with potential implications for other similar herbicides.

This study evaluated the impact of differential sowing windows and improved weed management strategies on weed dynamics, productivity, and economic viability of direct drum seeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) in the temperate agro-ecosystem of Kashmir. A two-year field experiment was conducted utilizing a split-plot design with two sowing dates (May 10 and June 3) as main plots and six weed management practices as sub-plots.

Agricultural production relies heavily on the use of pesticides, which may accumulate in soil and water, posing a significant threat to the global ecological environment and biological health. Butachlor is a commonly used herbicide and environmental pollutant, which has been linked to liver and kidney damage, as well as neurological abnormalities. However, the potential impact of butachlor exposure on the gut microbiota remains understudied.
