Effects of Salinity on Herbicide Lactofen Residues in Soil

Foliar application of ascorbic acid enhances salinity stress tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) through modulation of morpho-physio-biochemical attributes, ions uptake, osmo-protectants and stress response genes expression

“…1 ). Salinity stress results in a clear stunting of plants ( Jing et al, 2018 , Parida and Das, 2005 , Zafar et al, 2015 ), because of the lower osmotic capacity of the germination media, it induces toxicity that alters the activities of nucleic acid metabolism enzymes, alters protein metabolism, disturbs hormonal equilibrium, and decreases the use of seed reserves ( Adhikari et al, 2020 , Jabeen and Ahmad, 2017 , Kang et al, 2014 , Xu et al, 2012 , Zafar et al, 2015 ).…”

“…The main abiotic stresses such as high salinity, drought, cold and heat have a negative effect on the survival, development of biomass and yield of staple food crops of up to 70% ( Gupta and Thind, 2017 , Hashmat et al, 2021 , Yaseen et al, 2020 , Zaheer et al, 2020d ). Among these abiotic stresses, much of the crop research carried out due to global economic losses, estimated at around $14–19 million US dollars, has centered on soil salinity ( Jing et al, 2018 , Munns and Tester, 2008 , Zafar et al, 2015 ). Salt stress mainly affects plants in two ways, i.e., osmotic stress, induced by the deposition of large quantities of soluble salts in the soil, which reduces the supply of soil water to plants; and ion toxicity, caused by high salt accumulation within the plant, which disrupts a number of metabolic processes, including the inactivation of certain enzymes ( Kaya et al, 2015 , Parida and Das, 2005 , Safdar et al, 2019 , Zamin and Khattak, 2017 ).…”

A review of the impact of wastewater on the fate of pesticides in soils: Effect of some soil and solution properties

“…To our knowledge, the effects of inorganic salts on pesticide degradation have been scarcely evaluated. In a recent work, Jing et al (2018) assessed the degradation of the herbicide lactofen in a Chinese loamy soil with sodium chloride solutions. Lactofen disappearance rate was slower with the salt solutions than with tap water.…”
