Dose-response is the backbone of toxicology, and one of the most debated scientific issues
over the 20 th century. It was in the last century that the scientific community applauded the …

As all herbicides act on pathways or processes crucial to plants, in an inhibitory or
stimulatory way, low rates of any herbicide might be used to modulate plant growth …

Hormesis is a common response of both herbicide-susceptible and herbicide-resistant
plants to herbicides. Herbicide resistance in weeds is rapidly evolving, and although little …

The need to protect plants against environmental challenges, abiotic and biotic, leads to the
application of nanomaterials and pesticides in the environment. Recently, nanopesticides …

Glyphosate is a herbicide that acts as a broad-spectrum, non-selective, post-emergence

Climate change is increasing mean and extreme temperatures in the Southwestern United
States, leading to a suite of changes affecting agricultural production. These include …

A great deal of work has been done to explore the hormetic potential of various herbicides to
enhance crop growth and yield. However, the growth stimulatory potential of plant-released …

Glyphosate is a nonselective herbicide of systemic action that inhibits the enzyme 5-

Weed management has become increasingly important in the backdrop of sustainable crop
production, uncertain climatic patterns and food security concerns in Pakistan. Due to …

Hormesis is the stimulatory effect of a subtoxic level of a toxin. This phenomenon is common
with most herbicides on most plant species, although the effect is generally difficult to …
