Spraying plants also requires time

british study found that plants also have biological clocks, which vary in time and are sensitive to drugs, so spraying also needs to be time-sensitive. The researchers believe the new findings will help improve the use of agrochemicals, which in turn will better protect the environment and increase production capacity.
Researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK and Syngenta in Switzerland report in the British journal Nature Communications that they have found that the death or slow growth of plant tissue caused by the herbicide glyphosate depends on the time of use and the plant's own biological clock.
study showed that the minimum effective dose of glyphosate also changed with changes in the circadian rhythms of plants. In other words, at certain times of the day, you can achieve the desired results with fewer herbicides. This not only reduces herbicide use, but also saves farmers time and money and reduces the environmental impact of herbicides.
researchers say the medical community has long found that taking into account the body's circadian rhythms can be used to treat patients with better results. New research suggests that a similar approach could be used in future agricultural practices.Anthony Dodd, a senior lecturer at the University of Bristol and author of the
report, said that in the future it might be enough to use plant biological clocks to improve the use of some chemicals in agriculture, believing that this combination of biotechnology and fine agriculture would bring more economic and environmental benefits.
