Abstract
Weeds cause economic losses in cropping systems, leading to the use of 1.7 million tons of herbicides worldwide for weed control annually. Once in the environment, herbicides can reach non-target organisms, causing negative impacts on the ecosystem. Herbicide retention, transport, and degradation processes determine their environmental fate and are essential to assure the safety of these molecules. Radiometric strategies using carbon-14 herbicides (14C) are suitable approaches for determining herbicide absorption, translocation, degradation, retention, and transport in soil, plants, and water. In this work, we demonstrate how 14C-herbicides can be used from different perspectives. Our work focused on herbicide-plant-environment interactions when the herbicide is applied (a) through the leaf, (b) in the soil, and (c) in the water. We also quantified the mass balance in each experiment. 14C-mesotrione foliar absorption increased with oil and adjuvant addition (5-6 % to 25-46 %), and translocation increased only with adjuvant. More than 80 % of 14C-quinclorac and 14C-indaziflam remained in the soil and cover crops species absorbed less than 20 % of the total herbicides applied. In water systems, Salvinia spp. plants removed 10-18 % of atrazine from the water. Atrazine metabolism was not influenced by the presence of the plants. The radiometric strategies used were able to quantify the fate of the herbicide in different plant systems and the mass balance varied from 70 % to 130 %. Importantly, we highlight a critical and practical view of tracking herbicides in different matrices. This technique can aid scientists to explore other pesticides as environmental contaminants.

[PMID: 38891289 PMCID: PMC11174635 DOI: 10.3390/plants13111480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
A field study in the years 2017-2019 was carried out to evaluate the impact of novel adjuvant formulations on the efficacy of sulfonylurea and synthetic auxin herbicides. Treatments included nicosulfuron + rimsulfuron + dicamba (N+R+D) at full and reduced rates with three multicomponent (TEST-1, TEST-2, TEST-3) as well as standard (MSO, S) adjuvants. In this greenhouse study, Echinochloa crus-galli seeds were planted and treated with N+R+D at 2-3 leaf stages. The water with the desired pH (4, 7, and 9) for the preparation of the spray liquid was prepared by incorporating citric acid or K3PO4 to either lower or raise the pH of the water. Adjuvant TEST-1 added to the spray liquid at pH 4 increased the effectiveness to 68%, TEST-2 to 81%, and TEST-3 to 80%, compared to 73% and 66% with the MSO and S. The efficacy of N+R+D at pH 7 with TEST-1 increased to 83%, TEST-2 to 82%, and TEST-3 to 77%, but with MSO, it increased to 81%, and 71% with S. Adjuvants TEST-1, TEST-2, and TEST-3 in the liquid at pH 9 increased efficacy to 76 and 80%, compared to 79 and 63% with MSO or S adjuvants. N+R+D applied with TEST-1, TEST-2, and TEST-3 provided greater weed control than herbicides with surfactant (S) and similar or even better than with standard methylated seed oil (MSO) adjuvants. Maize grain yield after herbicide-with-tested-adjuvant application was higher than from an untreated check, and comparable to yield from herbicide-with-MSO treatment, but higher than from S treatment.

Enhanced detoxification via Cyt-P450 governs cross-tolerance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides in weed species of Centaurea. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 322:121140.

Abstract
Centaurea is a genus of winter weeds with a similar life cycle and competitive traits, which occurs in small-grains production fields in the central-southern of the Iberian Peninsula. However, most of herbicides recommended for weed management in wheat show poor control of Centaurea species. This study summarizes the biology, herbicide tolerance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, and recommended chemical alternatives for the control of Centaurea species. Four species (C. cyanus L., C. diluta Aiton, C. melitensis L. and C. pullata L. subsp. baetica Talavera), taxonomically characterized, were found as the main important broadleaf weeds in small-grains production fields of the Iberian Peninsula. These species showed innate tolerance to tribenuron-methyl (TM), showing LD50 values (mortality of 50% of a population) higher than the field dose of TM (20 g ai ha-1). The order of tolerance was C. diluta (LD50 = 702 g ha-1) ≫ C. pullata (LD50 = 180 g ha-1) ≫ C. cyanus (LD50 = 65 g ha-1) > C. melitensis (LD50 = 32 g ha-1). Centaurea cyanus and C. melitensis presented higher foliar retention (150-180 μL herbicide solution), absorption (14-28%) and subsequent translocation (7-12%) of TM with respect to the other two species. Centaurea spp. plants were able to metabolize 14C-TM into non-toxic forms (hydroxylated OH-metsulfuron-methyl and conjugated-metsulfuron-methyl), with cytochrome P450 (Cyt-P450) monooxygenases being responsible for herbicide detoxification. Centaurea cyanus and C. mellitensis metabolized up to 25% of TM, while C. diluta and C. pullata metabolized more than 50% of the herbicide. Centaurea species showed 80-100% survival when treated with of florasulam, imazamox and/or metsulfuron-methyl, i.e., these weeds present cross-tolerance to ALS inhibitors. In contrast, auxin mimics herbicides (2,4-D, clopyralid, dicamba, fluroxypir and MCPA) efficiently controlled the four Centaurea species. In addition, the mixture of ALS-inhibitors and auxin mimics also proved to be an interesting alternative for the control of Centaurea. These results show that plants of the genus Centaurea found in the winter cereal fields of the Iberian Peninsula have an innate tolerance to TM and cross-resistance to other ALS-inhibiting herbicides, governed by reduced absorption and translocation, but mainly by the metabolization of the herbicide via Cyt-P450.

Abstract
Weeds are a permanent component of anthropogenic ecosystems. They require strict control to avoid the accumulation of their long-lasting seeds in the soil. With high crop infestation, many elements of crop production technologies (fertilization, productive varieties, growth stimulators, etc.) turn out to be practically meaningless due to high yield losses. Intensive use of chemical herbicides (CHs) has led to undesirable consequences: contamination of soil and wastewater, accumulation of their residues in the crop, and the emergence of CH-resistant populations of weeds. In this regard, the development of environmentally friendly CHs with new mechanisms of action is relevant. The natural phytotoxins of plant or microbial origin may be explored directly in herbicidal formulations (biorational CHs) or indirectly as scaffolds for nature-derived CHs. This review considers (1) the main current trends in the development of CHs that may be important for the enhancement of biorational herbicides; (2) the advances in the development and practical application of natural compounds for weed control; (3) the use of phytotoxins as prototypes of synthetic herbicides. Some modern approaches, such as computational methods of virtual screening and design of herbicidal molecules, development of modern formulations, and determination of molecular targets, are stressed as crucial to make the exploration of natural compounds more effective.

Abstract
Invasive plant species (IPS) are often considered weeds that cause high yield losses in crops, negatively affect the environment, and disrupt certain ecosystem services. The negative impact of IPS on biodiversity is increasing and disturbing native vegetation. The management of plant invasions can be divided in two phases (before and after invasion). Prior to introduction it is crucial to develop the knowledge base (biology, ecology, distribution, impact, management) on IPS, prevention measures and risk assessment. After introduction if eradication fails, the monitoring and the integrated management of IPS are imperative to prevent the naturalization and further dispersal. This review uses two major invasive weed species (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats. and Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav.) as case studies to propose a framework for early detection, rapid herbicide resistance screening, and integrated management. The holistic framework that is presented exploits recent: (i) novel detection tools, (ii) rapid tests and assays for herbicide resistance, and (iii) biology, ecology, distribution traits, and management tools for the IPS. Farmers, advisors, researchers, and policymakers need briefing on IPS growth dynamics, adaptability rates, and response to conventional and novel treatments to prevent new invasions, eradicate isolated stands, and mitigate the impact of invasive weed species in the long term. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Glyphosate-based herbicide induces long-lasting impairment in neuronal and glial differentiation. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2022; 37:2044-2057.

Abstract
Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are among the most sold pesticides in the world. There are several formulations based on the active ingredient glyphosate (GLY) used along with other chemicals to improve the absorption and penetration in plants. The final composition of commercial GBH may modify GLY toxicological profile, potentially enhancing its neurotoxic properties. The developing nervous system is particularly susceptible to insults occurring during the early phases of development, and exposure to chemicals in this period may lead to persistent impairments on neurogenesis and differentiation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-lasting effects of a sub-cytotoxic concentration, 2.5 parts per million of GBH and GLY, on the differentiation of human neuroepithelial stem cells (NES) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). We treated NES cells with each compound and evaluated the effects on key cellular processes, such as proliferation and differentiation in daughter cells never directly exposed to the toxicants. We found that GBH induced a more immature neuronal profile associated to increased PAX6, NESTIN and DCX expression, and a shift in the differentiation process toward glial cell fate at the expense of mature neurons, as shown by an increase in the glial markers GFAP, GLT1, GLAST and a decrease in MAP2. Such alterations were associated to dysregulation of key genes critically involved in neurogenesis, including PAX6, HES1, HES5, and DDK1. Altogether, the data indicate that subtoxic concentrations of GBH, but not of GLY, induce long-lasting impairments on the differentiation potential of NES cells.

Abstract
Proper selection of adjuvant applications is an important strategy to enhance herbicide efficacy and reduce active ingredient input especially under adverse environmental conditions. In this study, a two-factor split-plot-design experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of two adjuvants on the efficacy of topramezone on the grassy weed species giant foxtail (Setaria faberi Herrm.) and the broadleaved weed species velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medik.) under three different temperature conditions. The two tested adjuvants were methylated seed oil (MSO) and organosilicone. Three temperature levels, 35/30°C, 25/20°C, and 15/10°C (day/night), were used in the laboratory and greenhouse experiment. Plant chlorophyll fluorescence measurements shortly after herbicide application and classic whole-plant bioassay methods were used to evaluate the herbicide efficacy among the different treatments. Results indicated that the maximum quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) of the top leaf of the weeds treated with topramezone mixed with MSO was significantly lower than that of the weeds treated with topramezone mixed with organosilicone and without an adjuvant at 2-3 days after treatment under all three temperature levels. The herbicide response of the plants treated with topramezone mixed with organosilicone and topramezone alone was not significantly different. These results corresponded well with the results of the classic whole-plant test. MSO has been shown to be good at enhancing the efficacy of topramezone on these weed species under all three temperature conditions. The measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence is a promising technique for evaluating the effects of adjuvants on the efficacy of herbicides shortly after herbicide treatment.

Abstract
This paper reports the first C. radiata population with resistance to glyphosate and multiple resistance to the acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor, imazamox. Two populations, one putative resistant (R) and one susceptible (S), were used in the studies. Dose–response experiments were performed to evaluate the resistance factor (RF). Shikimic acid accumulation, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) and ALS enzyme activities were studied together with chemical integrated weed management (adjuvants and alternative herbicides). The resistance to glyphosate and imazamox was confirmed based on the dry weight reduction, visual evaluation and survival. The results of dose–response curve assays showed for the R population intermedium RF for glyphosate (5.1 and 9.7 for amount of herbicide needed to reduce the dry weight by 50% GR50 and lethal dose of 50% LD50, respectively) and high RF for imazamox (34.9 and 37.4, respectively). The low shikimic acid accumulation in R population confirmed the glyphosate resistance. The glyphosate concentration which inhibited the EPSPS enzyme in 50% (I50) was approximately 20 times higher for R population than the S population, while the imazamox I50 in ALS enzyme for the R plants was 89 times greater than the S plants. In the chemical integrated weed management, the foliar retention and effectivity assays showed that the use of adjuvants improves the retention of glyphosate and imazamox, and the reduction in dry weight of weeds. The alternative herbicides study showed that the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors, paraquat and glufosinate, had better results for control in this species. However, poor control was observed with bispyribac-sodium, metsulfuron-methyl and quinclorac, indicating possible cross-resistance for ALS-inhibitors and also multiple resistance for auxinic herbicides (quinclorac). Nevertheless dose–response experiments are required to confirm this assumption.

Abstract
Abstract
The surface tension, pH and contact angle of the wetting liquid as well as the complex composition of the leaf surface are important parameters to describe the spreading, wettability and absorption of agrochemicals on the leaf surfaces. The contact angle of aqueous solutions of agrochemicals (multi-micronutrient fertilizers, growth regulator and insecticides) with/without Leaf guard, bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT) and Sapindus mukorrossi (Ritha) were measured over the surface of mango leaves. The order of contact angle (mean) values was found to be AOT < Ritha < Leaf guard, which implies that AOT is a better wetting agent, but Ritha has a higher range of adhesion work because of its acidic nature (low pH). The wetting free energy was found to be more negative in the presence of Leaf guard, Ritha and AOT than in water, which indicates that wetting is more spontaneous in the presence of surfactants. The adaxial surface of mango leaves had a higher surface free energy than the abaxial part and hence showed higher wettability than the abaxial part.

Abstract
Bromus catharticus Vahl. has been used as a valuable forage crop, but it has also been noted as a weed of winter crops and an invader in several countries. In Argentina, a putative glyphosate-resistant population of B. catharticus was identified as a consequence of the lack of effective control with glyphosate in the pre-sowing of wheat. Plant survival and shikimate accumulation analysis demonstrated a lower glyphosate-sensitivity of this population in comparison to a susceptible B. catharticus population. The resistant population was 4-fold more resistant to glyphosate than its susceptible counterpart. There was no evidence of target-site mechanisms of glyphosate resistance or an enhanced capacity to metabolize glyphosate in the resistant population. However, the resistant plants showed a lower foliar retention of glyphosate (138.34 μl solution g-1 dry weight vs. 390.79 μl solution g-1 dry weight), a reduced absorption of 14C-glyphosate (54.18 vs. 73.56%) and lower translocation of 14C-glyphosate from the labeled leaf (27.70 vs. 62.36%). As a result, susceptible plants accumulated a 4.1-fold higher concentration of 14C-glyphosate in the roots compared to resistant plants. The current work describes the first worldwide case of glyphosate resistance in B. catharticus. A reduced foliar retention of herbicide, a differential rate of glyphosate entry into leaves and an altered glyphosate translocation pattern would be the most likely mechanisms of glyphosate exclusion.

First Case of Multiple Resistance to EPSPS and PSI in Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn. Collected in Rice and Herbicide-Resistant Crops in Colombia. AGRONOMY-BASEL 2021.

Abstract
Eleusine indica is a highly competitive and difficult-to-control plant in annual and perennial crops. In Colombia, broad-spectrum herbicides, such as paraquat and glyphosate, have begun to present poor levels of control for this weed. The multiple resistance to glyphosate and paraquat, the increase in herbicide performance with adjuvants (Retenol® and Trend® 90), and alternative herbicides were evaluated in a resistant (R) population of E. indica collected in rice fields, which is rotated with herbicide-resistant (HR) crops. Based on plant mortality, the R population was 9.8 and 7.2 times more resistant than susceptible (S) plants to glyphosate and paraquat, respectively. R plants accumulated 4.2 less shikimic acid and had at least 70% less electrolyte leakage than S plants when they were exposed to glyphosate and paraquat, respectively. Both adjuvants increased the foliar retention of herbicides. In addition, adjuvants also increased the performance of glyphosate effectiveness between 22% and 58% and that of paraquat from 61% to 100%. Alternative herbicides (atrazine, clethodim, imazamox, diuron, flazasulfuron, glufosinate, oxyfluorfen, quizalofop, and tembotrione) provided high levels of control in both populations of E. indica. This is the first case of multiple resistant E. indica confirmed in Colombia. Adjuvants improved the leaf retention and efficacy of glyphosate and paraquat. In summary, the alternative herbicides evaluated in this study should be adopted by Colombian farmers and provide additional herbicide modes-of-action to combat future resistance.

Abstract
A failure of the EPSPS-inhibiting herbicide glyphosate to control several populations of Hordeum murinum subsp. leporinum (or H. murinum) occurred in southern Spain after more than fifteen applications in both crop (olive, orchards, and citrus) and non-crop (dry areas, roadsides and ditches) areas. Eight out of 18 populations studied were resistant (R) to glyphosate with R factors higher than four based on GR50. These populations also had the highest values of LD50 and the lowest levels of shikimic acid accumulation. Two adjuvants tested increased glyphosate efficacy in both susceptible (S) and R populations thanks to better spray foliar retention. Moreover, PS I-, PS II-, and ACCase-inhibiting herbicides, in pre- or post-emergence, proved to be the best chemical alternatives with different sites of action (SoA) to control both S and glyphosate-R populations. This study represents the first report worldwide of glyphosate resistance in H. murinum found in very different crop and non-crop areas from southern Spain. To design chemical strategies to implement integrated weed management programs for glyphosate-R H. murinum, both adjuvants and herbicides with alternative SoA as well as application timings should be considered.
