Agriculture fruit trees

As a result of its use as an insecticide on cotton, fruit trees, vegetables, and other crops, methyl parathion is released directly to the atmosphere during application. It is applied primarily by spraying from aircraft or ground equipment (NPIRS 1986). Aerial application of methyl parathion to agricultural fields releases the insecticide to the air. 

Products of the petroleum industry have been used in agriculture for the control of pests practically since the initial recovery of oil from the earth. The early uses were as dormant sprays for deciduous fruit trees and for weed control. The development and expansion of petroleum products and petroleum chemicals in agricultural pest control fields have closely paralleled the technological development of the petroleum industry. 

EDTA has also been used therapeutically in agriculture to treat iron deficiency in plants, particularly fruit trees, on basic soils. Spraying with iron-EDTA solution facilitates absorption of iron into the plant through its roots, followed by breakdown of the iron chelate so that the iron becomes available to the plant76. ... 

Atrazine and Oil In the western part of the Com Belt and the Great Plains, the agricultural extension service promoted the practice of applying a mixture of a lower rate of atrazine and oil in an early postemergence spray (when weeds hrst appeared). A highly refined crop oil was used, similar to that used in fruit-tree sprays. The practice was adopted extensively, especially in the Northern states to reduce the cost of herbicide treatment and lessen the potential for carryover. 

In the course of our allelopathic studies to isolate potential bioherbicides from plants, we focused our attention on medicinal plants and vegetable wastes, which represent a primary and neglected source of allelochemicals, assaying their allelopathic phytotoxicity and identifying the site(s) of action of allelochemicals on seeds.1,3,4,6 The annual production of one hundred million liters and deposition of olive oil mill wastewater is a major environmental problem for agriculture in the Mediterranean basin, where the olive (O/ea europaea L.) is the most economically important fruit tree, because it has provided valuable storable oil as well as edible fruit since ancient times.35...

The TMRC is based upon tolerances established for raw agricultural commodities. It assumes all crops are treated and that all residues occur at the maximum level seen in use situations. Tolerances are usually set at the limit of analytical detection when residues are not expected to occur. For instance, fruit trees sprayed during dormancy with a product that degrades before fruit are formed hence such tolerances in the fruit are meaningless. Therefore, TMRC greatly exaggerates pesticide intake.

Herbicides derived from urea form a large group of chemical compounds widely used in agriculture to control weeds in cereal, vegetable, and fruit tree crops. On the basis of their chemical natures, use, and mode of action, substituted urea herbicides can be divided into two main groups — phenylureas and sulfonylureas.

Agriculture and cultivated crops occupy considerable areas of irrigated and non-irrigated land. Some of the major crops are cotton, maize (com), alfalfa, wheat, barley, sorghum, rice, mulberry for silkworm culture, vegetables, melons, fruit trees, and others. The natural vegetation of Uzbekistan is a very rich source of fodder (more than 1,700 species), medicinal plants (600 species) and plants with essential oils (>650 species), saponins (>100 species), and tannins (ca. 400 species). 

Well W4 and W5 well are located in a wheat and rice rotation farmland, while W6 is located in the orchard and other wells like E4, E5 and E6 are in the woodland. Although these wells are far from Kui River, there is serious phosphorus pollution in it. There are mainly two reasons. Firstly, the farmers irrigate the wheat and rice fields with water from this river. Secondly, farmers applied phosphate fertilizer to farmland, fruit trees and nursery garden in agricultural production. The phosphorus from the irrigation river and the fertilizer are partly used by the plant. According to the research, crop s... 

After MuUer s discovery, the American pesticide industry took to DDT almost overnight. The commercial production of DDT, which was negligible in 1943, increased dramatically, as over 2 million pounds of DDT r month were synthesized just two years later. Furthermore, DDT use spread to many different sectors, from mosquito control in rural and urban areas, to agricultural use on row crops and fruit trees, to the use in the gypsy moth-control programs in the northeastern United States, to use in livestock operations and other industries associated with food production. DDT was an overnight sensation.
