Assessment of the ecotoxicological impact of natural and synthetic β-triketone herbicides on the diversity and activity of the soil bacterial community using omic approaches

Soil microbial communities in the face of changing farming practices: A case study in an agricultural landscape in France

“…The lower plowing frequency was associated with an increase in chemical inputs, especially herbicides since weed management is a major goal of farmers in this area. Pesticides and mineral fertilizers can negatively affect the soil bacterial diversity and structure [ 99 ], in particular ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms [ 100 ], and potentially lead to the selection or facilitation of particular bacterial taxa [ 31 ]. However, shifts in bacterial community composition do not necessarily lead to changes in bacterial richness [ 24 ].…”

Evaluation of Biological Response of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and Weeds to Safranal Allelochemical of Saffron (Crocus sativus) by Using Static Exposure Method

“…This situation has been triggered due to the evolution of herbicide resistance in many weeds and their negative effect on environment. [6]. Many plant species, including medicinal plants, have the potential to produce and release biologically active compounds into the environment that may have phytotoxic effect(s) on other plants [7,8,9].…”

Online Headspace-Solid Phase Microextraction-Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-based untargeted volatile metabolomics for studying emerging complex biopesticides: A proof of concept

“…Incubation conditions were 24 hours day/night cycle with alternation of light/dark, 28 °C/18 °C of temperature, and 40 % RH/65 % RH of humidity (Figure A 2 -Appendix A). The soil moisture was maintained at 20 % during the incubation and throughout the experiment, following a standardized environmental protocol implemented and published in previous works [10,34], aiming to assure conditions that are comparable to real environmental cases.…”

“…The preparation of herbicide-spiked soil samples was performed by applying the Myrica gale methanolic extract with a dose equivalent to 300 µg of the active compound (Myrigalone A) per gram of soil (1.2 mg of dry Myrica gale methanolic extract per gram of soil). This corresponds to ten-times the agronomical field dose, following testing guidelines recommendations [12,13] in order to assess their transformation and risks on health and environment in an extreme pollution scenario [34].…”
