Abstract:Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine] is an enzyme inhibiting herbicide, which is widely used in the world. Here, we investigate the glyphosate adsorption potential in tropical soils with pH close to 5. The herbicide was determined via HPLC with detection by UV-Vis. Our results suggest that glyphosate interacts especially with the stabilized organic matter. Thus, even with large amounts of soil organic matter, the soils may not be as effective in the adsorption of the herbicide if they do not also possess … 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.
