Effects of Glyphosate on Somatic and Ovarian Growth in the Estuarine Crab Neohelice granulata, During the Pre-Reproductive Period
Adult females of the estuarine crab Neohelice granulata were exposed during the 3-month pre-reproductive period (winter) to the herbicide glyphosate, the most used pesticide in Argentina, at three different concentrations (0.02, 0.2, and 1 mg/L, as active ingredient). At the end of the in vivo assay...
