Abstract:Pesticides offer stakeholders cost-effective solutions to control weeds. Nevertheless, such active compounds can manifest as severe environmental pollutants when escaping from agroecosystems into surrounding natural ecosystems, driving the need to remediate them. We, hence, analyzed whether Mucuna pruriens can develop a potential phytoremediator for treating tebuthiuron (TBT) in soil with vinasse. We exposed M. pruriens to microenvironments containing tebuthiuron at 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 (standard dose) L ha−1 an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
