Cultural practices, such as herbicide application, can directly interfere with microbial communities of soil and roots. These effects are complex and difficult to be detected, especially when analyzed by conventional methods. On the other hand, the recent development and use of molecular, DNA-based methods allows for a more accurate evaluation of these, often negative, effects. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of glyphosate and imazaquin-based herbicides, widely used in Brazil, on soil microbial biomass carbon, soil […]
