Adsorption of glyphosate on clays and soils from Paraná State: effect of pH and competitive adsorption of phosphate

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2007
This work showed that the adsorption of glyphosate (GPS) depends on surface area for clays and amount of clays and CEC for soils. Organic matter (OM) had a secondary role in the adsorption of GPS on soils. The adsorption of GPS on soils from Londrina and
