Pesticide Analytical Manual Volume II Pesticide Analytical Manual Vol. II Pesticide Analytical Manual Volume II Alphabetical Index This index to Pesticide Analytical Manual Volume II (PAM II), methods for residues of individual pesticides, is alphabetical by name. Included as names are those used in Code of Federal Regulations Title 40 (40 CFR) and those treated as “preferred names” by U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with the former considered the main entry; FDA names cross-reference the 40 CFR name unless they are the same. For additional names for these and other pesticides, see FDA Glossary of Pesticide Chemicals, also available on the WWW site maintained by FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. Dates in this index are the transmittal dates of the PAM II published methods. Asterisks indicate that additional or new method(s) have been submitted to EPA but not compiled in PAM II. Users with a need for such methods may request copies from: (Mail) Mark Law US EPA/OPP/BEAD/ACB Environmental Science Center 701 Mapes Road Fort Meade, MD 20755-5350 (Telephone) (410) 305-2915 (TTY)* (Fax) (410) 305-3091 (Email) [email protected] In this index, many names appear in different order from the previous (published) index, which was alphabetized by hand with leading numbers and other characters ignored. In this index, names are alphabetized by computer using all characters, according to the following sequence: space ! + # $ % & + ( ) * + , - . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ \ ] If needed to permit a long chemical name to fit on additional lines, an “=” is used where no space or hyphen occurs in the actual name at that point. *Requestors who do not use TTY should first dial 711 to be connected with their state’s Relay Service, or dial the Relay Service directly. The telephone number is in the user’s local directory. The call will be answered by a live operator, to whom the requestor must give the EPA phone number above. The operator will complete the connec- tion and assist in the conversation.

It is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America.[1] 2,4-D is also an important synthetic auxin, often used in laboratories for plant research and as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. History 2,4-D was developed during World War II by a British team at Rothamsted Experimental Station, under the leadership of Judah Hirsch Quastel, aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war.[citation needed] When it was commercially released in 1946, it became the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly enhanced weed control in wheat, maize (corn), rice, and similar cereal grass crop, because it only kills dicots, leaving behind monocots. Mechanism of herbicide action 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant growth regulators.

  • Growth Regulation and Other Secondary Effects of Herbicides Edivaldo D
    Weed Science 2010 58:351–354 Growth Regulation and Other Secondary Effects of Herbicides Edivaldo D. Velini, Maria L. B. Trindade, Luis Rodrigo M. Barberis, and Stephen O. Duke* As all herbicides act on pathways or processes crucial to plants, in an inhibitory or stimulatory way, low doses of any herbicide might be used to beneficially modulate plant growth, development, or composition. Glyphosate, the most used herbicide in the world, is widely applied at low rates to ripen sugarcane. Low rates of glyphosate also can stimulate plant growth (this effect is called hormesis). When applied at recommended rates for weed control, glyphosate can inhibit rust diseases in glyphosate-resistant wheat and soybean. Fluridone blocks carotenoid biosynthesis by inhibition of phytoene desaturase and is effective in reducing the production of abscisic acid in drought-stressed plants. Among the acetolactate synthase inhibitors, sulfometuron-methyl is widely used to ripen sugarcane and imidazolinones can be used to suppress turf species growth. The application of protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors can trigger plant defenses against pathogens. Glufosinate, a glutamine synthetase inhibitor, is also known to improve the control of plant diseases. Auxin agonists (i.e., dicamba and 2,4-D) are effective, low-cost plant growth regulators. Currently, auxin agonists are still used in tissue cultures to induce somatic embryogenesis and to control fruit ripening, to reduce drop of fruits, to enlarge fruit size, or to extend the harvest period in citrus orchards. At low doses, triazine herbicides stimulate growth through beneficial effects on nitrogen metabolism and through auxin-like effects. Thus, sublethal doses of several herbicides have applications other than weed control.

  • Toxicology and Potential Health Risk of Chemicals That May Be Encountered by Workers Using Forest Vegetation Management Options
    Toxicology and Potential Health Risk of Chemicals that May Be Encountered by Workers Using Forest Vegetation Management Options PART V: RISKS TO WORKERS USING HEXAZINONE FORMULATIONS (PRONONE® AND VELPAR®) Title Number Forest Practices Branch BC Ministry of Forests 7 Abstract Hexazinone is a broad-spectrum soil active herbicide used for site preparation, conifer release and in nurseries. The acute toxicity of hexazinone is low. Dermal toxicity is also very low, indicating poor absorption across the skin. It is irritant to the eyes, but does not produce skin sensitization. In a standard 90-day subchronic assay, rats consuming a diet containing 5000 ppm hexazinone (about 250 mg/kg/day) were unaffected except for slightly decreased weight gain. There was no effect at 1000 ppm. Dogs given 200 mg hexazinone/kg/day were unaffected except for modest weight loss. Two-year cancer studies of rats and mice indicated no detectable carcinogenic response, and there were no pathological changes other than benign adenomas (harmless tumours) found in the livers of mice maintained on a diet containing 10,000 ppm hexazinone. Lifetime systemic no-effect levels were 10 mg/kg/day for rats and 35 mg/kg/day for mice. Some liver effects were detectable at higher dose rates. Hexazinone was found to have no effect on reproduction and did not cause birth defects at doses that can be tolerated by the dams. It was shown to have limited mutagenic potential. Risks associated with use of hexazinone in forestry are slight, limited to eye and skin irritation. If daily intake is on the order of 0.03 mg/kg, which is to be expected of a worker who is moderately careful, the safety factor based on the no-observable-effect level (NOEL) of 10 mg/kg/day will be over 300.

  • A Novel Role of Ethephon in Controlling the Noxious Weed Ipomoea Cairica
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A novel role of ethephon in controlling the noxious weed Ipomoea cairica (Linn.) Sweet Received: 09 April 2015 1,* 1,* 1,3,* 2 1 Accepted: 22 May 2015 Zhong-Yu Sun , Tai-Jie Zhang , Jin-Quan Su , Wah Soon Chow , Jia-Qin Liu , 1 1 3 1 Published: 18 June 2015 Li-Ling Chen , Wei-Hua Li , Shao-Lin Peng & Chang-Lian Peng Several auxin herbicides, such as 2, 4-D and dicamba, have been used to eradicate an exotic invasive weed Ipomoea cairica in subtropical China, but restraining the re-explosion of this weed is still a challenge. Since ethylene is one of the major intermediate functioning products during the eradication process, we explored the possibility, mechanism and efficiency of using ethephon which can release ethylene to control Ipomoea cairica. The results of the pot experiment showed that 7.2 g /L ethephon could totally kill Ipomoea cairica including the stems and roots. The water culture experiment indicated that ethephon released an abundance of ethylene directly in leaves and caused increases in electrolyte leakage, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), abscisic acid (ABA) and H2O2 and decreases in chlorophyll content and photosynthetic activity, finally leading to the death of Ipomoea cairica. The field experiment showed that the theoretical effective concentration of ethephon for controlling Ipomoea cairica (weed control efficacy, WCE = 98%) was 4.06 g/L and the half inhibitory concentration (I50) was 0.56 g/L. More than 50% of the accompanying species were insensitive to the phytotoxicity of ethephon. Therefore, ethephon is an excellent alternative herbicide for controlling Ipomoea cairica.
