Relative survival and detoxification enzyme activity in Dysdercus koenigii (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) exposed to β-cyfluthrin alone and its nanometric emulsion Phytoparasitica (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-13
Abstract Dysdercus koenigii, a global cotton pest, inflicts significant crop losses via sucking the moisture and oil contents from leaves and seeds. The growing environmental hazards with conventional pesticides have led to the exploration of nanotechnology to formulate alternative products and nanoemulsions as suitable insecticide delivery vehicles for target pests. We formulated nanoemulsions using

Auxinic and sulfonyl urea herbicides for post-emergence control of sedges and broad-leaf weeds in direct-seeded rice Phytoparasitica (IF 1.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-15 Jitendra Patidar, Simerjeet Kaur
There is a shift of dominance from grasses to broad-leaf weeds and sedges in direct-seeded rice (DSR) due to the continuous use of grass herbicides. The uncontrolled growth of broad-leaf weeds and sedges in DSR throughout the entire crop season resulted in a 52–64% reduction in crop yield. Field studies were carried out to evaluate control of sedges and broad-leaf weeds with post-emergence application
