Tissue-Specific Genotoxic Effects of Low-Dose Glyphosate-Based Herbicide (Roundup) Exposure in Juvenile Clarias gariepinus

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world today and has increased in use as weed resistance has developed. Due to its effectiveness and affordability, “Roundup”, a commercialized formulation of glyphosate, is today the second most widely used herbicide in urban areas and in agriculture. The increased use of glyphosate and glyphosatebased herbicides has led to adverse toxic effects on the environment, animals, and humans, even at low concentrations.

Profiling Of the Selected Residual Soil Enzymes Associated With Glyphosate Impacted Top Soils (Short Communication)

The edaphic enzyme profiles associated with compounded top herbicide; Glyphosate impacted and control soils sourced from a commercial farm setting and a fallow land were determined using routine methodologies. The commercial farm establishment and the fallow farm were sited in Amukpe and Adavware communities both located in Sapele Local Government Area, Delta State, Nigeria. The amylase and invertase content of the soils ranged from 11.43 µg glucose/g soil ± 0.24 to 52.15 µg glucose/g soil ± 0.68 and 55.46 µg sucrose/g soil ± 1.25 to 548.13 µg sucrose/g soil ± 15.56 respectively.
