| According to the Weed Science Society of America, if weeds were left to grow freely, it would result in a 50 percent reduction in corn and soybean yield in the United States. This has led to herbicides being used on 97 percent of corn planted in a report by United States Department of Agriculture. The widespread use of herbicides has led to herbicide resistant weeds. This has created a need for novel herbicides to be used to control weed growth. Researchers at Purdue University have developed a combination low dose herbicide. The herbicide contains synergistic herbicides cellulosin and isoxaben in nM concentrations. A 10 days study found that the novel combination herbicide inhibited root length growth by 50 percent for Arabidopsis plants. Advantages: -Low dose herbicide -Low cost herbicide -Reduced chance of resistance development Potential Applications: -Herbicide development |
