The production of glyphosate-resistant (GR) soybeans continues to increase, as does the frequency of use of the herbicide glyphosate. Although largely resistant to glyphosate, GR soybean plants can still suffer adverse effects caused by the application of the herbicide particularly under stress conditions, risking limitations both on crop production and on the quality of the soybean crop. Glyphosate-induced effects on GR soybeans include decreased chlorophyll contents, lower photosynthesis a...

The leading product was Malathion, accompanied by bait. Malathion was banned for use in fruits for expor...
