Glyphosate has significant adverse effects on creature and ecological balance. Therefore, the efficient treatment of glyphosate wastewater is of great significance. In this study, nano calcium peroxide (n-CaO) was loaded onto activated sludge biochar (SBC), and then Fe(II) was added to construct a Fenton-like system (n-CaO/SBC/Fe(II)). SBC played the role of both a dispersant and catalyst, which greatly improved the removal capability of glyphosate. The removal efficiency of glyphosate in the n-CaO/SBC/Fe(II) system was as high as 99.6%. The persistent free radicals (PFRs) on SBC can promote the conversion of Fe(III) to Fe(II) in the reaction system, and Fe(II) can be maintained at about 15 mg L until the reaction reached equilibrium. Due to the synergistic effect of Fe(II) hydrolysis and SBC catalysis, n-CaO/SBC/Fe(II) system can effectively remove glyphosate in a wide initial pH range (4.0-10.0), and the pH of the reaction system can be remained in a suitable environment (4.0-6.0) for Fenton-like reaction. Advanced oxidation and chemical precipitation were the main mechanisms for the removal of glyphosate. Most of glyphosate could be oxidized into HPO anions by breaking the bonds of C-P and C-N, and the HPO can be further adsorbed and bounded on the surface of the composites. This system overcomes the shortcomings of pH rising and Fe(III) precipitation in the CaO-based oxidation systems, and realizes the efficient and complete degradation for glyphosate.

The widespread use of glyphosate and the high dependence of the agricultural industry on this herbicide cause environmental pollution and pose a threat to living organisms. One of the appropriate solutions in sustainable agriculture to deal with pollution caused by glyphosate and its metabolites is creating a symbiotic relationship between plants and mycorrhizal fungi. Glomalin-related soil protein is a key protein for the bioremediation of glyphosate and its metabolite aminomethyl phosphonic acid in soil.

Background: Ryegrass (Lolium spp.) is a key forage providing a $14 billion contribution to New Zealand's gross domestic product (GDP). However, ryegrass can also act as a weed and evolve resistance to herbicides used for its control.

Glyphosate (Gly) is a widely used herbicide for weed control in agriculture, but it can also adversely affect crops by impairing growth, reducing yield, and disrupting nutrient uptake, while inducing toxicity. Therefore, adopting integrated eco-friendly approaches and understanding the mechanisms of glyphosate tolerance in plants is crucial, as these areas remain underexplored. This study provides proteome insights into Si-mediated improvement of Gly-toxicity tolerance in Brassica napus.

Studies have shown that the presence of allergens, including insecticides, significantly increases the risk of occupational allergic diseases among solar greenhouse workers. However, no studies have yet investigated the relationship between organophosphorus pesticide use by greenhouse workers and allergic diseases, and the role of the flora in this context remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between combined exposure to organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) and Glyphosate (GLY) and changes in total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, as well as to analyze the role of nasal flora in allergic status.

Background: Preventative pesticide seed treatments (hereafter preventative pest management or PPM) are common corn and soybean treatments, and often include both fungicides and neonicotinoid insecticides. While PPM is intended to protect crops from soil-borne pathogens and early season insect pests, these seed treatments may have detrimental effects on biological control of weed seeds by insects.

Methods: Here, in two 3-year corn-soy rotations in Pennsylvania USA, we investigated a PPM approach to insect management compared to an integrated pest management approach (IPM) and a "no (insect) pest management" (NPM) control.
