Formulation of effective and environmental friendly bioherbicides depends on the type of fermentation medium used for the production of phytotoxic metabolites. The effect of biomass, colony forming unit and the phytotoxic metabolite produced from the biphasic fermentation was carried out, while the phytotoxic metabolite was  tested in vivo and in-vitro on Echinochola crus-galli and dicotyledonous Chromolaena odorata. The mutant strain of Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae C1136 (Lp90) produced the highest amount of conidia and the largest necrotic area on the two tested weeds when compared to its wild strain in the different biphasic media combinations. The study revealed that the biphasic system containing PDB + rice produced the highest bioherbicidal activities. Therefore, the phytotoxic metabolites from strain C1136 are suggested for large scale production of bioherbicides for the management of weeds in conventional farming to improve yield and enhance food security.

Alternaria dauci is the causal agent of Alternaria leaf blight (ALB) in carrot (Daucus carota) crops around the world. However, to date, A. dauci has received limited attention in its production of phytotoxic metabolites. In this investigation, the bioassay-guided isolation of the extract from liquid cultures of A. dauci resulted in the isolation of two metabolites identified as α-acetylorcinol (1) and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (2), based on their spectroscopic data and results from chemical correlation reactions. Testing of both metabolites in different assays showed an important phytotoxic activity for p-hydroxybenzoic acid (2) when tested in the leaf-spot assay on parsley (Petroselinum crispum), in the leaf infiltration assay on tobacco (Nicotiana alata) and marigold (Tagetes erecta), and in the immersion assay on parsley and parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) leaves. Quantification of the two metabolites in the crude extract of A. dauci kept at different times showed that p-hydroxybenzoic acid (2) is one of the first metabolites to be synthesized by the pathogen, suggesting that this salicylic acid derivative could play an important role in the pathogenicity of the fungus.

Detection and degradation of linuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl) -1 - methoxy -1 - methylurea] in organic soils were studied using biological assays and chromatographic techniques. The level of linuron that caused 50% growth reduction of onion (Allium cepa L.) varied among three soils of greatly differing organic matter contents. Linuron and its metabolites were successfully separated with florisil column chromatography using a five-fraction solvent system; however, only linuron and 3 - (3,4 - dichlorophenyl) -1 -methylurea could be extracted from organic soil samples at satisfactory recovery rates. Soil samples from eight grower fields and from field plots were analyzed to determine the residue level of these two compounds. Quantitative assessment of the compounds was made with high pressure liquid chromatography. Results of the biological assay and chromatographic analysis showed that linuron and its phytotoxic metabolite, 3 - (3,4 - dichlorophenyl) -1 - methylurea, were not accumulating in the organic soils of Ontario and that the levels detected were not phytotoxic to onions when grown in pot bioassays.
