Sugarcane killing practices often result in inadequate eradication of the old crop. Techniques aimed at improving the efficacy of chemicals are therefore being researched. Results from a series of trials have shown that mechanical or hand slashing of ratoon cane suppresses apical dominance and generally enhances chemical cane killing action on the regrowth. Slashing before spraying proved to be...

The aim of this study was to assess the teratogenicity of the herbicide glyphosate-Roundup (as commercialized in Brazil) to Wistar rats. Dams were treated orally with water or 500, 750 or 1000 mg/kg glyphosate from day 6 to 15 of pregnancy. Cesarean sections were performed on day 21 of pregnancy, and number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, living and dead fetuses, and resorptions were reco...

Abstract Despite extensive research into the toxicology of herbicide glyphosate, there are still major unknowns regarding its effects on human gut microbiome. We describe glyphosate and a Roundup glyphosate-based infant microbiota using SHIME technology. culture was undertaken in presence concentration 100-mg/L same equivalent Roundup. to lesser extent caused an increase fermentation activity, ...

Four cases of self-poisoning with 'Roundup' herbicide are described, one of them fatal. One of the survivors had a protracted hospital stay and considerable clinical and laboratory detail is presented. Serious self-poisoning is associated with massive gastrointestinal fluid loss and renal failure. The management of such cases and the role of surfactant toxicity are discussed.

Objective: In this study, toxic effects of Roundup, one the most common glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs), were assessed on human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B).
 Material and Method: MTT neutral red uptake assays implemented for evaluation cell viability at 24 48 h. Apoptosis detection was made by Muse analyzer while Hoechst staining employed to detect apoptotic nuclear changes. ad...

This experiment evaluated the effect of feeding dairy cows with cottonseeds containing BollGard r (Cry1Ac) and BollGard r II (Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab), Roundup Ready r (CP4 EPSPS) and control non-transgenic cottonseed on dry matter intake, milk yield and milk composition. Twelve lactating multiparous Argentinean Holstein cows weighing 570 kg (BW) were used in a 4x4 Latin square design, with 3 squares...
