“…Glyphosate is regarded as one of the most effective nonelectroactive organophosphorus herbicides in agricultural production and landscape maintenance because of its ability to control weeds effectively. 1,2 However, the unlimited usage of the glyphosate has detrimental impacts on animals, aquatic plants, microbial compositions and potential indirect effects on human health. 3,4 Therefore, a sensitive detection of glyphosate is highly demanded.…”

“…Though currently the herbicide use is globally discouraged; however, it cannot be eliminated at once. The herbicides damaging effect on the environment has generated the necessity of non-chemical and environment friendly weed management in the agro-ecosystems (Bocker et al, 2018;Spliid et al, 2004;Augustin, 2003).…”

Two field trials were conducted at the farm of the University of Agriculture Peshawar, Pakistan in 2014 and 2015, to investigate the effect of intercropping on maize, mungbean, cowpea and sesbania, in which maize was the main crop and the others were intercrops. A two factorial design was used. Factor A comprised of pendimethalin application as pre-emergence and no herbicide application. Factor B consisted of four mono-cropping treatments of Zea mays L. (maize), Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek (mungbean), Sesbania sesban (L.) Merr. (sesbania), and Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (cowpea), along with six intercropping treatments viz. 5 legumes rows and 6 maize rows in combinations i.e. mungbean+maize, cowpea+maize, sesbania+maize, and also 10 legume crops rows and 6 maize rows in combinations mungbean+maize, cowpea+maize, and sesbania+maize. The results indicated a significant influence of the years, the use of herbicide, the treatments of intercropping, and the interaction effect of the herbicide x intercropping on the yields of studied crops which meant that the differences among the observations were statistically significant. For the year effect, the mean yields were higher in 2014; while for the effect of herbicide use, the maize grain yield was higher in pendimethalin applied plots. Stating the effect of intercropping, mungbean grain yield was highest in plots of mungbean mono-cropping and lowest in mungbean: maize intercropping (sown in ratio of 5:6 rows). Cowpea and sesbania biomasses were significantly higher in herbicide plots and also in mono-cropping plots of cowpea and sesbania plots, respectively in 2014 and 2015. The values of the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) were between 1.40 and 1.49 for all the intercropping treatments, with the highest LER calculated for sesbaniamaize intercropping (10:6 rows). Therefore, the herbicide pendimethalin as pre-emergence @1.5 kg ha-1 in maize crop along with intercropping of any of the studied legume crops at the 1:1 row sowing ratio is the best combination for achieving desirable weed control, higher crop yields and greater LERs.

“…In July 2017, the EC restarted negotiations with the MSs on the renewal of the approval of glyphosate with specific provisions regarding (a) protection of groundwater, as well as terrestrial animals and non-target plants; and (b) a ban of POEA as a formulating agent for glyphosate (see below). The aggregated economic impacts of a possible ban on glyphosate were assessed to be relatively small by a highly detailed, spatially explicit bio-economic model of silage maize production in Germany (Böcker et al, 2018). The debate remained unsuccessful until November 2017, when, upon the fourth revision of the EC proposal and Germany unexpectedly changing its position, the EC Appeal Committee reached a qualified majority in favor of the renewal the approval of glyphosate for 5 years (European Commission, 2011a) adopted by the EC in December 2017 (Erickson, 2017;European Commission, 2017).…”
