The herbicide glyphosate, widely used for weed control, has detrimental effects on soil fertility and agricultural safety. Scientists from the Southern Federal University have discovered that any concentration that contradicts the sustainable development of agriculture in Russia is dangerous.
There has been a long-standing debate among scientists about the possible harms of glyphosate to human health and the environment. A recent study by scientists from the Academy of Biology and Biotechnology of the Southern Federal University showed that even low concentrations of the herbicide can harm the soil microbiome.
Therefore, it will be important to find safe alternatives to glyphosate in the coming years, which will increase the role of biotechnology in agriculture.
