“…Depending on the growth stage at the time of spraying, some species will not respond or will exhibit a reduced response to different herbicides (Marrs et al 1991). Sublethal effects may also be observed, which ultimately will influence species composition and richness, e.g., effects on reproductive output (Fletcher et al 1993;Boutin et al 2000).…”

“…Close to 20% of the recommended rate of application can reach non-target habitats near crop fields depending on the spraying conditions e.g., equipment, weather, wind, and distances from the application (Nordby and Skuterud 1975;Marrs et al 1991;de Snoo and van der Poll 1999). Rew et al (1992) found huge differences between different fertiliser spreader types, with up to 195% of mean field applications dispersing beyond field boundaries.…”

Choinière, L. 2001. Comparing weed composition in natural and planted hedgerows and in herbaceous field margins adjacent to crop fields. Can. J. Plant Sci. 81: 313-324. Hedgerows and field margins are common features of the agricultural landscape in southern Québec. In the last decade, hedgerow establishment has been encouraged primarily for the prevention of soil erosion, though many farmers view them as reservoirs of invasive weeds and pests. In this study, we compared weed assemblages of several hedgerow types and herbaceous field margins. Ranking that takes into consideration weed abundance was clearly demonstrated: planted hedgerows > herbaceous field margins > natural woody hedgerows. The latter harboured many perennial plant species of less weedy propensity than planted hedgerows, which accommodated a larger number of weedy species. In planted hedgerows close to 50% of plants were weeds, even in their central position, although planted and natural hedgerows sheltered similar weed composition in their central parts. Likewise, most species inventoried in adjacent fields were weeds. Weeds characterising the central position of hedgerows/field margins were often species of wet habitats (Lythrum salicaria L., Equisetum arvense L., Cicuta maculata L.). Management practices of hedgerows and perhaps of crop fields adjacent to hedgerows may be mostly responsible for the abundance of weeds in hedgerows and field margins. Les haies brise-vent et les bordures herbacées font partie intégrante du paysage agricole du Québec méridional. L'implantation de haies a récemment été encouragée pour réduire les problèmes liés à l'érosion éolienne mais plusieurs producteurs agricoles voient toujours les haies comme des réservoirs d'espèces nuisibles. Nous avons étudié la composition et la distribution des espèces végétales nuisibles aux cultures dans différents types de haies et un patron clair de l'abondance de ces espèces a été trouvé: haies plantées > bordures herbacées > haies naturelles boisées. Ce dernier type de haie abritait plus d'espèces vivaces non nuisibles aux cultures que les haies plantées lesquelles abritaient surtout des espèces nuisibles. Ainsi, plus de 50% des espèces retrouvées dans les haies plantées étaient des espèces nuisibles, même celles présentes au centre des haies, malgré le fait que la composition spécifique des espèces nuisibles retrouvées au centre des haies naturelles et plantées était similaire. La plupart des espèces inventoriées dans les champs adjacents étaient aussi des espèces nuisibles. Plusieurs des espèces nuisibles retrouvées au centre des haies et des bordures herbacées sont typiques des milieux humides (Lythrum salicaria L., Equisetum arvense L., Cicuta maculata L.). La présence d'espèces nuisibles dans les haies brise-vent et dans les bordures herbacées semble être une conséquence de l'aménagement des haies en soi et possiblement des pratiques agricoles ayant cours dans les champs cultivés adjacents.

“…Vascular plants show different sensitivity to stressors depending on several factors, including difference of community, growth stage (such as seed, seedling, and mature plant), and environmental factors (Thai et al, 1985;Marrs et al, 1991;Ratnayake and Shaw, 1992;Vidottoa et al, 2007;Dugdale et al, 2010). For a comprehensive understanding of the influences of residual herbicides in the environment on wetland biodiversity, it is necessary to analyse additional species exposed to herbicides, as well as examining the sensitivity of the species used in the present study at different growth stages.…”

Although rice production provides stable environments for aquatic plants, the wide use of herbicides is a concern for wild plants inhabiting the surroundings of rice paddies. Because commercial herbicides are typically a cocktail of chemicals, they may pose a threat to wild plants even when the constituent chemicals do not individually have detrimental effects. We sampled water from a rice paddy and a river receiving the paddy drainage immediately after the transplanting period to identify and compare the concentrations of herbicides. We also examined the effect of the sampled water on the germination of two plants: Ammannia multiflora (hygrophyte) and Vallisneria asiatica (submerged). We found that the concentrations of glufosinate in the paddy and river waters were 0.0015 and 0.0013 mg L -1 , respectively, and those of pyraclonil were 0.0010 and 0.0009 mg L -1 in the same waters, indicating that these chemicals persist outside the rice paddy. The germination rate of A. multiflora was significantly diminished with exposure to river and paddy water under fluctuating temperature conditions, whereas no difference was observed for V. asiatica. For a comprehensive understanding of the influences of residual herbicides on wetland biodiversity, it is necessary to analyse the effects of herbicides on a wide range of aquatic plants and at various stages of growth.

“…Debido a estas propiedades, pueden contaminar el ambiente mediante la escorrentía agrícola o la lixiviación (Ren et al, 2010). Numerosas investigaciones confirman la incidencia (Holden et al, 1992;Walls et al, 1996), destino (Bintein y Devillers, 1996;Kruger et al, 1997) y efectos de los herbicidas sobre el medio ambiente, incluyendo impacto en las comunidades de vegetación autóctona (Tomkins y Grant, 1977;Marrs et al, 1991;Marrs y Frost, 1997;Riemens et al, 2009), y en las comunidades acuáticas (Spawn et al, 1997;Kotrikla et al, 1999;Relyea, 2005), disminución de las poblaciones de mariposas (Longley y Sotherton, 1997) y aumento de las deformidades en ranas (Barinaga, 1990;Blaustein y Wake, 1990).…”
