Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, post-emergence, non- selective chemical that kills plants by affecting the shikimate-pathway during photosynthesis22. Generally, gly- phosate is regarded as environmentally friendly due to its fast biodegradation and strong adsorption to soil SCIENTIFIC REPORTS | 4 : ...
Mode of action, York explains, is the biochemical process by which a chemical kills a plant. For cotton growers in the Southeast, resistance to ALS-inhibiting herbicides is of critical concern because of the widespread use of these materials on cotton and peanuts. In the Southeast, ALS-inhibito...
organic material passes through the thermophilic phase (45–65 °C) that kills numerous pathogenic microorganisms due to release of CO2, water and heat (Lung et al

Although this fungus isn’t harmful to humans, it is a “serious threat” to banana production. The fungus attacks the plants’ roots and blocks their vascular (维管的) system — the network used to transport water and nutrients (营养物) and finally kills the plants. Once the fungus finds...
An example of antibiosis is how the black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) releases a chemical called juglone as a byproduct which happens to kill weeds and other plants within some radius of its trunk. The black walnut tree in the middle of this image inadvertently kills other plants around it...
