Correlation of fluridone and dye concentrations in water following concurrent application     

Alison M. Fox  William T. Haller  Donn G. Shilling 《Pest management science》1991,31(1):25-36

Herbicide residue samples are expensive and time-consuming to collect and analyze. To test whether Rhodamine WT dye could simulate the dissipation of fluridone, concurrent applications of the chemicals were made in the weed-infested Three Sisters tidal canals (Citrus Co. Fl) and a shallow lake in the Upper St Johns River, Florida. Dye concentrations were measured using a field fluorometer and fluridone concentrations were analyzed by an HPLC method. The coefficient of correlation between dye and herbicide was 0.99 in the canals and 0.93 in Lake Hell ‘n’ Blazes (Upper St Johns River) over 340 and 93 h respectively. Half-lives of the chemicals were not significantly different for either site. The importance of these data in relation to herbicide registration is discussed.  相似文献   

A comparison of cypermethrin distribution on cattle hair after application of impregnated ear and tail tags     

Stuart M. Taylor  Christopher T. Elliott  William J. Blanchflower 《Pest management science》1987,21(1):39-43

Ten dairy cows were separated into two groups of five. One group was ear tagged with a PVC ear tag containing 8-5 g kg^?1 cypermethrin in each ear. A PVC strip impregnated with the same quantity of cypermethrin was attached to the tail of each cow in the other group. The concentration of cypermethrin in hair samples from the neck, flanks and the anterior, sides and the posterior of the udder was measured for a period of 10 weeks after application. Concentrations were found to be high in those body areas nearest to the points of application, moderate on the flanks but low on the front and sides of the udder.  相似文献   

The physical and chemical properties of the herbicide cinmethylin (SD 95481)

Cinmethylin (SD 95481), is a novel herbicide developed for the selective pre-emergence control of many annual grass weeds in a wide range of temperate and tropical crops. Representing new herbicide chemistry, cinmethylin is in the cineole family. Cinmethylin is a mobile colourless liquid with a boiling point of 313°C under an inert atmosphere at atmospheric pressure. It has a density of 1015 kg m^?3 and a viscosity of 70–90 mPa s, both at 20°C. It is miscible in all proportions with most organic solvents but has a low solubility, 63 mg litre^?1, in water. It has a vapour pressure of 10.2 mPa (20°C) and the vapour pressure/temperature relationship is given by log_e P(Pa)=28.9–9816/T (K). The n-octanol/water partition coefficient is 6850 and soil organic matter/water sorption coefficient (K_om) ranges between 165 and 235 over the three types of soil used in these studies. Cinmethylin is stable in water over the pH range 3–11. Solutions of cinmethylin in water or solvents are reasonably stable to sunlight, though thin films on a quartz surface photooxidise mainly to an ester within 24 h. This rate can be reduced by the addition of photostabilisers or by sorption onto soil surfaces. In an inert atmosphere cinmethylin is stable to high temperatures, though, in air, oxidation occurs at temperatures above 100°C to give the same product as by photodecay.  相似文献   

Esterase isozymes in Lygus hesperus: Characterization and relationship with organophosphate resistance     

Gang Xu  William A. Brindley 《Pest management science》1994,42(4):273-280

Esterases of Lygus hesperus Knight from five field and one laboratory populations were separated by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and were characterized for inhibition and substrate specificity. There were six zones of esterase activity toward naphthyl ester substrates. Significant inter- and intra-populational polymorphisms were observed. All the isozymes were carbo-xylesterases that were sensitive to inhibition by paraoxon and insensitive to eserine or EDTA (ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid). Carboxylesterases from L. hesperus more readily hydrolysed naphthyl esters with short side chains. Molecular weight estimation by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that Est-1, the specific band of older females and eggs, contained two enzymes with relative molecular masses of 140000 and 112000. The four esterase allozymes in Est-3 had an average relative molecular mass of approximately 106000. The frequency of one putative allozyme in Est-3 was directly correlated with the LC₅₀ values of trichlorfon (to which L. hesperus has become resistant). The developmental and distribution variability of the esterase isozymes are compared.  相似文献   

Health evaluation of free-ranging and captive blue-fronted Amazon parrots (Amazona aestiva) in the Gran chaco, Bolivia.     

Sharon L Deem  Andrew J Noss  Rosa Leny Cuéllar  William B Karesh 《Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine》2005,36(4):598-605

Bolivia has a total of 47 species of Psittacidae, seven of which have been identified in our study site, the semiarid Gran Chaco of the Isoso. One species, the blue-fronted parrot (Amazona aestiva), is frequently captured by local Isose?o Guaraní Indians for exploitation on the national and international market. These birds are often temporarily housed in small villages under unhygienic conditions with poultry and other domestic species. On occasion, these parrots escape back to the wild. Additionally, many of these birds are kept as pets or are used to lure wild. parrots within slingshot range for subsequent capture. In this study, we evaluated the health status, including the level of exposure to selected infectious agents, in the wild-caught captive birds and free-ranging birds. Physical examinations were performed, and blood was collected, from 54 live birds (20 captive and 34 free-ranging). Feces were collected from 15 birds (seven captive and eight free-ranging). Necropsies were also performed on four recently dead wild-caught birds. On serologic testing, no birds were found to have antibodies to avian influenza virus, Chlamydophila psittaci, infectious bronchitis virus, infectious bursal disease virus, infectious laryngotracheitis virus, Marek's disease virus, paramyxovirus-1, paramyxovirus-2, paramyxovirus-3, polyomavirus, eastern equine encephalitis virus, western equine encephalitis virus, or Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus. Positive antibody titers were found for psittacine herpesvirus (8/44, 18.2%), Aspergillus spp. (3/51, 5.9%), and Salmonella pullorum (33/49, 67.3%). All three of the birds that tested antibody positive for Aspergillus spp. were captive, whereas six of the eight and 15 of the 33 birds that tested positive for psittacine herpesvirus and S. pullorum, respectively, were wild.  相似文献   

Measurement of acephate and its principal metabolite in leaves by gas-liquid chromatography     

William J. Allender  E. John Major  Geoffrey C. Cresswell 《Pest management science》1992,35(1):91-94

A semi-micro method is described for monitoring levels of acephate (O, S-dimethyl acetylphosphoramidothioate) and its principal metabolite, methamidophos (O, S-dimethyl phosphoramidothioate) in leaf material derived from treated, hydroponically grown gerberas (Gerbera jamesonii H. Bollus, ex Hook. f.) To minimise injury to the living leaf, analyses were performed on 13-mm diameter discs punched from the interveinal regions of the lamina. The leaf disc samples were then extracted with ethyl acetate. Clean-up of extracts was accomplished by passing the filtered leaf extracts through glass mini-columns containing carbon + filter aid (2 + 5 by mass). Acephate and methamidophos were eluted from the column with methanol and measured simultaneously by programmed temperature gas chromatography using a thermionic specific detector.  相似文献   

Synthesis and biological activity of furanyl anti-juvenile hormonal compounds     

William S. Bowers  Gopalan C. Unnithan  Jun-Ichi Fukushima  Jun Toda  Takeyoshi Sugiyama 《Pest management science》1995,43(1):1-11

Twenty-one synthetic compounds, containing one or more furan rings, were demonstrated to possess anti-juvenile hormone (AJH) activity as evidenced by their induction of premature metamorphosis in the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus (Dallas) by contact, topical application or fumigation. The ED₅₀ of the four most active analogs required to induce precocious metamorphosis from 3rd-instar nymphs by residue contact in a Petri dish compared favorably with that of precocene II (6,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl 2H-chromene) a naturally occurring phytochemical AJH. Precocious metamorphosis was fully reversible by co-treatment with juvenile hormone (JH III) or JH analogs, demonstrating that the observed AJH activity resulted from an induced deficiency of juvenile hormone.  相似文献   

Nonendoscopic Antegrade Percutaneous Gastrostomy: The Effect of Preplacement Gastric Insufflation on Tube Position and Intra-Abdominal Anatomy   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Erik M. Clary  Elizabeth M. Hardie  William D. Fischer  rew E. Kyles 《Journal of veterinary internal medicine / American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine》1996,10(1):15-20

Nonendoscopic tube gastrostomy was performed on 41 anesthetized dogs using the technique of Fulton and Dennis with or without gastric insufflation prior to tube placement. Immediately after tube placement, dogs were euthanized and postmortem examinations performed. When gastric insufflation was not performed (group I), gastrostomy tubes penetrated the visceral surface of the stomach in 25% of dogs. The deep leaf of the omentum was interposed between stomach and body wall in the majority of these dogs, exposing other intra-abdominal organs to potential injury. Additionally, displacement and tethering of the spleen cranial to the gastrostomy site were observed in 33% of dogs in group I. Similar results were obtained when preplacement gastric insufflation was performed after the orogastric tube was inserted sufficiently far to displace the stomach laterally against the body wall (group II). In contrast, consistent positioning of gastrostomy tubes through the parietal surface of the stomach was achieved when the stomach was insufflated prior to lateralizing the left abdominal wall with the gastric end of the orogastric tube (group III). It was concluded that the blind percutaneous gastrostomy technique is made safer by insufflating the stomach immediately prior to pushing the gastric wall laterally into contact with the parietal peritoneum.
