Busseola fusca and Chilo partellus survival on Bt and stacked-gene maize varieties
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Genetically modified Bt maize expressing Cry proteins are used to control lepidopteran pests of maize. Damage caused by these stemborer species Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: ... -
Degradation of glyphosate using environmental lignocellulolytic fungal isolates and extracellular enzymes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Glyphosate is the most used herbicide in the world. Having been detected in food and water systems, glyphosate raises several concerns around food safety and its environmental impact. Recent studies have found an increase ... -
Effect of glyphosate applications on growth responses of various glyphosate tolerant maize hybrids
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Glyphosate is a highly effective non-selective, broad-spectrum, post-emergence herbicide used to control a broad spectrum of grasses and broad-leaf weeds. Glyphosate was initially largely used as a burn-down herbicide to ... -
Environmental changes and threats on freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Human imprint on Earth is actually so profound leading global environmental changes that affects and modifies the functioning of ecosystems. Among the natural biomes, freshwater ecosystems are remarkable habitats that ... -
Identification of the response pathways of Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis to glyphosate and it's major breakdown product Aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA)
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Glyphosate is the active ingredient in non-selective herbicides, and disrupts the shikimate pathway of plants and bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. Application of glyphosate has increased ... -
Investigating the presence of crop applied herbicide mixtures in aquatic systems and its possible risks
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)Crop production is important to feed the growing global population. Over the last few decades, measures to improve crop production have been adopted around the world. This include the use of genetically modified maize to ... -
May agricultural water sources containing mixtures of agrochemicals cause hormonal disturbances?
(Elsevier, 2020)Agricultural chemicals end up in the environment as complex mixtures and it is their combinatorial effects that need to be evaluated, rather than the traditional single effect of the active ingredients. This study emphasises ... -
Microbial community structure and nematode diversity in soybean-based cropping systems
(2014)Soil is an important ecosystem that supports a wide variety of organisms such as bacteria, fungi, arthropods and nematodes. This sensitive ecosystem may be influenced by various factors, including agricultural management ... -
Nematode assemblages and soil microbial communities in soils associated with glyphosate-resistant soybean
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)The introduction of genetically modified glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops led to increased use of glyphosate, with potential long-term effects on biological soil communities. Abundance and diversity of plant-parasitic and ... -
Oxidative stress induced by glyphosate-based herbicide on freshwater turtles
(SETAC, 2017)Freshwater ecosystems face very strong anthropogenic pressures, among which overexploitation, habitat degradation, flow modification, species invasion, and water pollution lead to growing threats on biodiversity. Urbanization ...
