Such agriculturally and environmentally important bacterial characteristics as multiple antibiotic resistance in animal pathogens, nodulation and nitrogen fixation in Rhizobium—plant symbioses, crown gall formation by plant pathogenic Agrobacterium species and pesticide degradation by members of the genus Alcaligenes have been shown to be carried as part of transmissible plasmids. The widespread use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine and agriculture has resulted in the evolution and spread of multiple drug resistance plasmids. The problem of drug resistance might be overcome by reduction or pronhibition of the use of clinically important antibiotics for non-therapeutic purposes such as growth promotion or prophylaxis. An understanding of the role of plasmid-borne nitrogen fixation/nodulation characteristics of Rhizobium species may provide an alternative to the use of very expensive nitrogenous fertilizers. Studies of the plant pathogenic Agrobacterium have led to successful biological control of crown gall. Finally, the manipulation of pesticide degrading plasmids has already demonstrated their potential for reducing environmental pollution resulting from the widespread use of complex synthetic molecules in both industry and agriculture.</div>","PeriodicalId":100064,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture and Environment","volume":"6 1","pages":"Pages 23-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0304-1131(81)90024-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89338695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The history of degradation of this environment is traced from the late 19th century, when livestock were introduced to the sagebrush rangelands. The dominant species of sagebrush that characterize the landscape are not preferred by domestic livestock. Continuous excessive grazing greatly reduced the perennial grass cover and allowed shrubs to increase. Phenoxy herbicides proved to be very valuable and economically feasible tools for improving grass and other forage production on shrub-dominated rangelands. Second-generation herbicides were used in controlling alien annual weeds to permit the seeding of degraded sagebrush rangelands. These techniques for control of herbaceous weeds were vertically integrated with brush control and seeding techniques for total range improvement. Environmental and economic constraints brought improvement of sagebrush range to a virtual standstill during the nineteen-seventies.</div>","PeriodicalId":100064,"journal":{"name":"Agriculture and Environment","volume":"6 1","pages":"Pages 53-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0304-1131(81)90027-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83016852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
