Evans, Co-Editor-in-Chief. The Journal of Environmental Management has learned that this article's lead and co-corresponding author, Tariq Shah, was never affiliated with the United States Department of Agriculture's Plant Science Research Unit, as claimed in the authorship credits. Additionally, none of the research presented in this study was sponsored or approved by the United States Department of Agriculture. When asked about these issues during an editorial investigation, Shah's responses caused the editor to further lose confidence in the validity/integrity of the article. The other corresponding author, Parvaiz Ahmad, cooperated with the investigation in full. The Journal has no evidence indicating that Ahmad or other co-authors were previously aware of Shah's unethical behavior that necessitated this retraction.
