Since the introduction of glyphosate-tolerant genetically-modified plants, the global use of glyphosate has increased dramatically making it the most widely used pesticide on the planet. There is considerable controversy concerning the carcinogenicity of glyphosate with scientists and regulatory authorities involved in the review of glyphosate havi...

BackgroundGlyphosate-based herbicides are one of the most commonly used compounds to control perennial weeds around the world. This compound is very persistent in the environment and tends to filter into aquatic ecosystems, affecting non-target species such as mosquito larvae. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are vectors of multiple arboviruses such as den...

Pesticides are often found at high concentrations in small ponds near agricultural field where amphibians are used to live and reproduce. Even if there are many studies on the impacts of phytopharmaceutical active ingredients in amphibian toxicology, only a few are interested in the earlier steps of their life cycle. While their populations are hig...

Roundup (R), a formulation that contains glyphosate (G) as the active ingredient, is a commonly used nonselective herbicide that has been proposed to affect male fertility. It is well known that an adequate Sertoli cell function is essential to maintain germ cell development. The aim of the present study was to analyze whether G and R are able to a...

BackgroundOrobanche crenata is an obligate root parasite belonging to Orbanchaceae. Broomrape causes great damage to the faba bean. Several attempts were applied for controlling parasitic weeds. So, the aim of this work is to study the application of Trichoderma spp. as well as three rhizobacteria species in comparison to herbicidal effect of Glyph...

Density functional theory (DFT) studies have been performed on the unprecedented adsorption of glyphosate pesticide on modified pyridine-like nitrogen-doped graphene (PNG) for the purpose of water remediation. The interaction of glyphosate on the PNG sheet, as well as on Pt-Cu decorated PNG substrates, is investigated. The Pt4-nCun (n = 0–4) cluste...

The introduction of herbicide-tolerant (HT) genetically engineered (GE) soybeans has raised new challenges for the European risk assessment of imported food and feed. Food and feed products derived from these plants may show specific patterns of chemical residues and altered nutritional composition. Furthermore, there has been a substantial increas...

There are currently various concerns regarding certain environmental toxins and the possible impact they can have on developmental diseases. Glyphosate (Gly) is the most utilised herbicide in agriculture, although its widespread use is generating controversy in the scientific world because of its probable carcinogenic effect on human cells. Gly per...

Two nonionic POEA surfactants (CAS No. 61791-26-2), TA15 and TH30, were tested to establish their acute pathological effects and lethal concentrations (LC50) in Piaractus brachypomus. Both compounds are nonionic surfactants produced by the alkoxylation of ethylene oxide with tallow amine, and they are used in variety of industries such as textiles,...

Glyphosate is used in Ghana on many crops including yam. There is the suspicion that there could be residue problems in the yam crop. Glyphosate as a polar compound is noted for its difficulty to be analysed in biological matrices. In this study, the method for glyphosate analysis based on FMOC-Cl derivatization was modified with a clean-up (CH2Cl2...
