Potassium bicarbonate has widespread use in crops, especially for neutralizing acidic soil. [11]Potassium bicarbonate is an effective fungicide against powdery mildew and apple scab, allowed for use in organic farming.
Insecticidal soap is used to control many plant insect pests. Soap has been used for more than 200 years as an insect control. [1] Because insecticidal soap works on direct contact with pests via the disruption of cell membranes when the insect is penetrated with fatty acids, the insect's cells leak their contents causing the insect to dehydrate and die.

This is a list of fungicides. These are chemical compounds which have been registered as agricultural fungicides . The names on the list are the ISO common name for the active ingredient which is formulated into the branded product sold to end-users. [ 1 ]
The fungus colonizes the underside of leaves and the wind carries spores between fields. [29] Severely infected leaves will discolor, collapse, and dry up prematurely; thus reducing the plant’s photosynthetic area. Currently, there are no registered fungicides that provide effective control of the disease in the coastal conditions of California.
Weed control is a type of pest control, which attempts to stop or reduce growth of weeds, especially noxious weeds, with the aim of reducing their competition with desired flora and fauna including domesticated plants and livestock, and in natural settings preventing non native species competing with native species.
These measures use the natural environment to enhance agricultural productivity: legumes are planted to fix nitrogen into the soil, natural insect predators are encouraged, crops are rotated to confuse pests and renew soil, and natural materials such as potassium bicarbonate [48] and mulches are used to control disease and weeds.
It is presumed that this disrupts the binding of the fungicide to the protein, rendering the fungicide ineffective. Upregulation of target genes can also render the fungicide ineffective. This is seen in DMI-resistant strains of Venturia inaequalis. [10] Resistance to fungicides can also be developed by efficient efflux of the fungicide out of ...
The FBI concluded in a 2012 memo that as a result of the publication of J.W. Huffman's research, people searching for a "marijuana-like-high" would follow his recipes and methods. [ 5 ] Eicosanoid synthetic cannabinoids are analogs of endocannabinoids , such as anandamide .
