A bed with a duvet. A duvet (/ËdjuËveÉª/, /ËduËveÉª/, or US /duËËveÉª/; from the French duvet [dyvÉ] down) is a type of bedding consisting of a soft flat bag filled with down, feathers, wool, silk or a synthetic alternative, and typically protected with a removable cover, analogous to a pillow and pillow case.
ALS Inhibitors. ALS Inhibitors are a family of herbicides. Herbicides that inhibit acetolactate synthase (ALS), the enzyme common to the biosynthesis of the branch-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine), affect many species of higher plants as well as bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and algae.
1 Linuron is a nonselective herbicide used in the control of grasses and broadleaf weeds. 2  It works by inhibiting photosynthesis. 3  MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) is a phenoxy herbicide selective for broadleaf plants and widely used in cereals and pasture. Fluroxypyr, a systemic, selective herbicide, is used for the control of broad-leaved weeds in small grain cereals, maize, pastures, rangeland and turf. 2  It is a synthetic auxin. 3  In cereal growing, fluroxypyr's key importance is control of cleavers, Galium aparine.
