Glyphosate and AMPA, “pseudo-persistent” pollutants under realworld agricultural management practices in the Mesopotamic Pampas agroecosystem, Argentina

In the Pampas, public concern has strongly risen because of the intensive use of glyphosate for weed control and fallow associated with biotech crops. The present study was aimed to evaluate the occurrence and concentration of the herbicide and its main metabolite (AMPA) in soil and other environmen...
