“…Notably, a Roman naturalist recommended using arsenic as a pesticide (Clayton-Smith et al, 2023). In the 1600s, a mixture of honey and arsenic was first used to cure ant infestations and by the late 1800s, farmers in America were using chemicals like nicotine sulfate, calcium arsenate and sulfur to try and manage a range of crop pests (Casimero et al, 2023). The limited application approaches available at the time, however, hampered their efforts (Leng, 2023).…”

Pesticides, whether naturally occurring or chemically synthesized, serve to combat various pests across sectors such as food production, forestry, agriculture, and aquaculture, but they also pose risks of toxicity to ecosystems. The World Health Organization classifies pesticides based on their harmful effects, underscoring the importance of public health considerations. By employing them judiciously and understanding their categorization, their usage can be minimized for the benefit of both human health and the environment. This review examines global perspectives on pesticides, including their distribution and environmental impacts, while literature highlights their potential uses, classification and adverse effects on natural systems, water, plants, human health and food preservation. Additionally, eco-friendly management strategies, like bacterial degradation, myco-remediation, phytoremediation, and microalgae-based bioremediation, are discussed as green solutions to mitigate pesticide pollution. The identification of potent microbes, novel genes and biotechnological applications for pesticide waste management is crucial for fostering a sustainable environment.

“…2,4-D is also highly consumed in Asian countries. In Thailand, 2,4-D emerged as the most imported herbicide in 2021, totaling 11,781 tons [ 18 ]. In China, the production of 2,4-D reached a significant milestone of 40,000 tons in 2010 [ 19 ].…”

2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a widely used herbicide worldwide and is frequently found in water samples. This knowledge has prompted studies on its effects on non-target organisms, revealing significant alterations to liver structure and function. In this review, we evaluated the literature on the hepatotoxicity of 2,4-D, focusing on morphological damages, toxicity biomarkers and affected liver functions. Searches were conducted on PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus and 83 articles were selected after curation. Among these studies, 72% used in vivo models and 30% used in vitro models. Additionally, 48% used the active ingredient, and 35% used commercial formulations in exposure experiments. The most affected biomarkers were related to a decrease in antioxidant capacity through alterations in the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase and the levels of malondialdehyde. Changes in energy metabolism, lipids, liver function, and xenobiotic metabolism were also identified. Furthermore, studies about the effects of 2,4-D in mixtures with other pesticides were found, as well as hepatoprotection trials. The reviewed data indicate the essential role of reduction in antioxidant capacity and oxidative stress in 2,4-D-induced hepatotoxicity. However, the mechanism of action of the herbicide is still not fully understood and further research in this area is necessary.

“…However, the weather favors not only the rubber trees but also the growth of weeds, especially during the first three years of immature rubber plantations. Therefore, many types of weeds are usually found around rubber plantations (Stür and Shelton, 1990;Ansong et al, 2021;Casimero et al, 2022). During the immature phase, the small canopy area of rubber plants allows more sunlight throughout the day in the inter-row spaces resulting in favorable conditions for weed emergence and growth.…”

“…In an immature rubber plantation, herbicide application is commonly employed to manage weeds (Ansong et al, 2021), while cover crops and annual intercrops serve to control them and reduce soil erosion (Liu et al, 2019), and potentially increase local household food security (Hondrade et al, 2017). Given concerns about the use of chemical herbicides in farming systems (Casimero et al, 2022), exploring biologically and eco-friendly approaches to controlling weed distribution is crucial. Therefore, manipulating forage crop integration as the rubber-based intercropping system presents a promising strategy to achieve this goal and minimize reliance on herbicides.…”

Rubber plantation, especially in the immature phase, is usually infested by various local weed species in the inter-row spaces of the rubber trees. This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of weed species and the growth and yield of forage crops for weed control and management in an immature rubber plantation. The field study was conducted with four treatments of forage crops. The first treatment was a control plot in which local weeds were growing naturally without forage crops. The plot was compared with the other three immature plots wherein native tropical carpet grass (Axonopus compressus), native whip grass (Hemarthria compressa) and high productive yield ruzi grass (Brachiaria ruziziensis) were planted, respectively, in the inter-row of the rubber trees. The study period was split into four seasons: S0 – January to June 2016; S1 – July to September 2016; S2 – October to December 2016; and S3 – January to March 2017. Results showed that three families of narrow-leaf and nine families of broad-leaf weeds were found in the study area. A large number of common weed families were observed more in the S3 than those in other seasons. Moreover, all forage crops were effective in suppressing weeds, with ruzi grass demonstrating the highest level of competitiveness and yield among the native forage crops reaching 1.50 Mg ha-1 in the S3. Therefore, implementing an indirect weed control approach using forage crops in rubber plantations could serve as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical herbicides.
