We report the first large-scale investigation of microplastic contamination in beach
sediments across Auckland, New Zealand's most populous region. Sediment samples were …

The physicochemical properties of soil are fundamental to quantification of the fate of
herbicides. Thus, the aim of this research was to evaluate the fate of diuron, hexazinone …

Abstract To protect New Zealand's $4.8 billion per annum forest resource from weeds,
diseases and pests, forest managers apply pesticides. This includes an estimated 405 …

Aerial application of an herbicide mixture of triclopyr, dicamba, picloram, and aminopyralid is
used to control dense infestations of exotic conifers, notably lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta …

A new analytical method has been developed, optimised, and validated for simultaneous
detection and identification of betrixaban, an oral anticoagulant drug approved recently by …

The behavior of herbicides as organic and inorganic colloids in soils depends on the
pHysicochemical characteristics of the compounds, soil properties, and climatic conditions …

Background The use of herbicides to control competing vegetation in planted forests is an
important component of forest management. The increasing public aversion to herbicide use …

Pesticides are important for the management of pests and diseases that have a negative
impact on the sustainability of the forestry industry. Nevertheless, there is a trend to reduce …

Herbicides are used to control competing vegetation during tree establishment, and are
often critical to the productivity and economic viability of a planted forest crop. Despite …

This study evaluates the dissipation of terbuthylazine, metolachlor, and mesotrione at
different depths in soils with contrasting texture. The field trial was conducted at the Padua …
