Some Aspects of the Influence of Residual Amounts of Glyphosate Herbicide in Soil On Cultural Plants

Abstract

Studies have been conducted on the effect of residual quantities of the most common herbicide Glyphosate (0.8; 1.4; 17) mg / kg of soil on the greens of peas and oats. Spectrophotometrically analyzed samples for their content of beta-carotene, which protects the cells of the immune system from damage by free radicals and can improve the immune system. The data obtained showed that the higher the content of herbicide in the soil, the less beta-carotene in samples of hay. The results of the experiments showed that the height of pea seedlings decreases when the soil is treated with Glyphosate. When the concentration of the herbicide is 1.4 mg / kg, it decreases by 32 % compared to the control; when selenium is added, the difference compared to untreated soil is 23 %. less than in the control sample. A sharp decrease in vitamin B2 and vitamin A in greens of peas grown in soil treated with Glyphosate is shown. The content of vitamins increases with the addition of selenium to the soil. The obtained experimental data indicate a decrease in beta-carotene, vitamins A and B2 in greens grown on soil containing Glyphosate.
