Abstract
The aim of the current study was to compare some biological activities of edible oils enriched with 10 % of cannabidiol (CBD samples) from the Slovak market. In addition, hemp, coconut, argan, and pumpkin pure oils were also examined. The study evaluated the fatty acids content, as well as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and phytotoxic activities. The CBD samples presented antimicrobial activity against the tested bacterial strains at higher concentrations (10000 and 5000 mg/L) and antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata, Penicillium italicum and Aspergillus flavus. DPPH⋅ and FRAP assays showed greater activity in CBD-supplemented samples compared to pure oils and vitamin E. In cell lines (IPEC-J2 and Caco-2), a reduced cell proliferation and viability were observed after 24 hours of incubation with CBD samples. The oils showed pro-germinative effects. The tested activities were linked to the presence of CBD in the oils.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 11:plants11030279.

Abstract
Only a limited number of contact herbicides exist in agricultural production. While systemic herbicides are more efficient also at suboptimum spray coverage with long-lasting weed control, contact herbicides provide several advantages. There is no translocation to fruits or roots of plantation and other crop, low risk for resistance development, and minor risk for spray-drift damage. Besides, synthetic products that often have toxicological or residues issues, natural fatty acids, particularly pelargonic acid (PA), have contact activity and are safer for home and garden use. We recently described a methyl capped polyethylene glycol ester of pelargonic acid (PA-MPEG) that acts independent of acid formation. Both, PA-MPEG and PA are applied at high rates per hectare to achieve excellent weed control. Here, we report about potential additives to increase PA-MPEG efficacy. The herbicidal active, 1-decanol, and the non-phytotoxic alkylated seed oil-based adjuvant, HastenTM, improved performance and outperformed a commercial PA herbicide. Both, PA-MPEG and PA appear to mainly act by the disintegration of bio-membranes besides having effects on transpiration. The main suggested effect is desiccation due to cutting the water continuum at the site of evaporation in the intercellular spaces. The synergistic action of the adjuvant HastenTM and its practical uses are also discussed.
