The history and current status of glyphosate.

open access: yesPest Management Science, 2018
Glyphosate is the only herbicide to target the enzyme 5-enolpyruvyl-3-shikimate phosphate synthase (EPSPS). It is a high use rate, non-selective herbicide that translocates primarily to metabolic sinks, killing meristematic tissues away from the ...

Formulation‐Dependent Cytotoxic Effects of Commercial and Analytical‐Grade Mancozeb in C6 Glial Cells

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mancozeb (MZ) is a widely used dithiocarbamate fungicide composed of manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) complexes. Increasing concern has been raised regarding its occupational and human health relevance, particularly due to its neurotoxic potential associated with Mn‐related cellular dysfunction.

Crop Response to Glyphosate Trimesium Sulphosate

open access: yesNotulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2013
Glyphosate may cause injury to non-target plants. The first detectable symptom after glyphosate treatment is the growth inhibition, followed by noticeable yellowing (chlorosis) of the treated tissue.

Glyphosate Results Revisited [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 2005
With respect to the recent article by De Roos et al. (2005), we would like to a) comment on the authors’ incomplete genotoxicity review, which is inconsistent with conclusions reached by regulatory agencies; b) estimate the likely range of systemic doses and margins of exposure for farmers based on comprehensive glyphosate biomonitoring data published ...
