The phytotoxic monoterpenes, camphor, pulegone, and borneol, exhibit a marked synergistic action when used in combination. On a molar basis, these phytotoxic concentrations are enhanced from 40 to 100 times by using two compounds simultaneously. The toxicity of these compounds is about the same for radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and wheat (Triticum vulgare Vill.) but is less by an average of tenfold for oats (Avena sativa L.). When the compounds are used singly, they are from 3 to 12 times as effective in inhibiting root elongation as they are in inhibition of germination.

A determinação da concentração de compostos no solo por meio de plantas quantificadoras apresenta como principal vantagem detectar somente resíduos biologicamente ativos, não havendo necessidade de instrumentos onerosos e de prévia extração dos resíduos do solo. Dessa forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo selecionar plantas quantificadoras da presença de herbicidas residuais (pré emergentes) para o uso em bioensaios. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental completamente casualizado com arranjo bifatorial 8 x 6, com cinco repetições. O fator A consistiu de espécies cultiváveis e o fator B de herbicidas aplicados em pré emergência. Os resultados evidenciaram que a sensibilidade na detecção do herbicida no solo depende da espécie utilizada. A sensibilidade das espécies Lactuca sativa L. e Raphanus sativus var. sativus L. não permitiu condições de quantificar a presença dos herbicidas atrazina, cloransulam, imazaquin, metribuzin e S-metolacloro. Raphanus sativus var. oleiferus Metzger é potencial quantificador de imazaquin e S metolacloro. Plantas de Curcubita pepo L. são promissoras na bioavaliação de metribuzin. A espécie Cucumis sativus L. mostrou-se potencial bioindicadora de cloransulan e imazaquin. Avena sativa L. apresentou-se como potencial quantificadora de imazaquin e metribuzin. Hordeum vulgare L. pode quantificar o metribuzin e Triticum aestivum L. é promissor na detecção da biodisponibilidade de atrazina.

aluminium treatment caused a significant decrease in root length and dry matter yield in the shoots and roots of carrot (Daucus carota L.) and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) plants. this reduction was concomitant with a decrease in the accumulation of soluble sugars and total amino acids, whereas a significant increase in the proline content of the shoots and roots was detected. Soluble protein remained more or less unchanged when Al was applied at low and moderate levels. However, at higher Al levels, the losses in soluble sugars were accompanied by increases in soluble protein in radish, whereas in carrot the opposite effect was observed.  The application of phosphorus fertilizer to al-treated plants counteracted the toxic effect of aluminium by increasing root elongation and dry matter production. This was associated with high contents of soluble sugars and soluble protein as well as ca, mg and p, especially at low and moderate levels of aluminium

Introducción. El pasto es la fuente principal de alimentación de los rumiantes, sin embargo, este no es capaz de aportar los nutrientes necesarios requeridos para su mantenimiento y productividad, sumado a esto, en el trópico alto es muy notable la estacionalidad de producción de forrajes, por lo que es muy importante conocer otras alternativas de alimentación. Objetivo. Caracterizar y evaluar diez cultivos forrajeros como fuentes alternativas de suplementación en sistemas de producción de leche en el trópico alto de Nariño. Materiales y métodos. El estudio se realizó en tres localidades (L1, L2 Y L3) representativas de la cuenca lechera del departamento de Nariño entre noviembre de 2016 y setiembre de 2017. Se empleó un diseño de bloques completos al azar (BCA) con diez tratamientos Vicia faba (alpargata), Vicia faba (roja), Vicia faba (común), Zea mayz var. ICA V-305, Raphanus sativus L., Beta vulgaris, Avena sativa var. Cayuse, Phalaris sp., Medicago sativa L. var. moapa, Medicago sativa L. var. 10 10, tres repeticiones y comparación de medias al 0,05. Al momento de la cosecha se estimó: rendimiento de forraje verde y materia seca, proteína cruda (PC), fibra detergente neutro (FDN), fibra detergente ácido (FDA), lignina, hemicelulosa, digestibilidad de la materia seca y energía neta de lactancia (ENL). Resultados. Las especies destacadas fueron la haba (las tres variedades) y la remolacha forrajera, por su rendimiento y calidad nutricional, las cuales presentaron valores entre 7,48 y 20,24 % para PC y 1,14 y 1,49 Mcal kg-1 para ENL. Se presentaron diferencias entre tratamientos para cada localidad, tanto en las variables productivas como en las nutricionales. Conclusión. Las especies forrajeras de mayor rendimiento productivo y calidad nutricional fueron la haba (roja, común y alpargata) y la remolacha.

A by-product of protein production from the larvae of the black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens ) is a zoocompost consisting of a variety of organic compounds. The purpose of the work was to determine the hazard class of the zoo complex - the waste of cultivation of Hermetia illucens larvae using biotesting methods, since the use of calculated methods to determine the hazard class is difficult. Biotesting experiments were carried out on test organisms: planktonic crustacean Daphnia magna , algae Chlorella vulgaris , seeds of Avena sativa , Triticum vulgare and Hordeum sativum . It has been established that the zoocompost refers to low-risk waste. Extractions of the zoocompost stimulate the growth of plants Avena sativa and Hordeum sativum , it is supposed to be used as a phytostimulator. It has been shown that an environmentally friendly wasteless method for the production of protein additive from insects is possible.

Algumas culturas, como as espécies cultivadas no inverno, possuem poucas opções de herbicidas seletivos registrados. Devido a falta de informações, alguns agricultores usam produtos de forma inadequada, podendo ocasionar conseqüências indesejáveis. O presente trabalho avaliou a tolerância de espécies de inverno a herbicidas residuais. Para tanto, foi conduzido um experimento entre junho e agosto de 2005, em casa de vegetação da Faculdade de Agronomia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), localizada no município de Porto Alegre. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, arranjo bifatorial 4 x 6, com cinco repetições. O fator A consistiu das espécies cultiváveis: Avena sativa L. (aveia branca), Hordeum vulgare L. (cevada), Raphanus sativus var. oleiferus Metzger. (nabo forrageiro) e Triticum aestivum L. (trigo) e o fator B consistiu dos herbicidas de aplicação em pré-emergência: atrazine (3,0 kg ha-1), cloransulam (0,04 kg ha-1), imazaquin (0,14 kg ha-1), metribuzin (0,144 kg ha-1), S-metolachlor (1,92 kg ha-1) e testemunha sem aplicação de herbicida. As culturas do nabo forrageiro e do trigo não apresentaram tolerância aos produtos utilizados. Plantas de aveia branca foram tolerantes ao cloransulam e a cevada apresentou tolerância aos herbicidas atrazine e cloransulam.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the impact of the thiophene-derived aminophosphonates 1–6 on seedling emergence and growth of monocotyledonous oat (Avena sativa) and dicotyledonous radish (Raphanus sativus L.), and phytotoxicity against three persistent and resistant weeds (Galinsoga parviflora Cav., Rumex acetosa L., and Chenopodium album). Aminophosphonates 1–6 have never been described in the literature. The phytotoxicity of tested aminophosphonates toward their potential application as soil-applied herbicides was evaluated according to the OECD (Organization for Economic and Cooperation Development Publishing) 208 Guideline. In addition, their ecotoxicological impact on crustaceans Heterocypris incongruens and bacteria Aliivibrio fischeri was measured using the OSTRACODTOXKITTM and Microtox® tests. Obtained results showed that none of the tested compounds were found sufficiently phytotoxic and none of them have any herbicidal potential. None of the tested compounds showed important toxicity against Aliivibrio fischeri but they should be considered as slightly harmful. Harmful impacts of compounds 1–6 on Heterocypris incongruens were found to be significant.
