Combination effects of herbicides on plants and algae: do species and test systems matter?

The article discusses the combination outcome of herbicides on plants and algae. It aims to provide a comparative analysis of these combination effects throughout aquatic and terrestrial test systems and to determine whether terrestrial plants have higher chances of synergistic interactions of herbicide mixtures compared to aquatic plants and algae. Some of the mixtures considered that were examined on the terrestrial species include Tripleurospermum inodorum, Stellaria media, Lemna minor, and Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. The authors stress that the concentration addition model of the mixtures is useful in approximating the impact of the mixtures of herbicides on terrestrial and aquatic species.
