Research monitoring waste levels of the Glyphosate Herbicide
Used in agriculture, glyphosate is an herbicide capable of controlling a wide range of weeds. However, its use can lead to the occurrence of residues, whether in conventional or genetically modified crops. Researchers analyzed samples of soybeans and corn and cotton seeds, in commercial areas in the harvests of 2012/2013 to 2017/2018, in different Brazilian agricultural regions in order to monitor the levels of residues of glyphosate and its metabolite, after different managements. The results showed undetected or minimal residue rates, confirming that the safety profiles determined by Brazilian regulatory agencies are followed. … Read More →
