Glyphosate residues in grains can be affected by the concentrations and formulations of glyphosate products, with Roundup(R) Original and Roundup Ready(R) formulations showing increased distribution of C-14-glyphosate in glyphosate-resistant soybeans. Despite higher residues in Roundup Ready(R) formulation, the highest level found in grains was below the maximum residue limit (MRL) in Brazil, at 1.95 mg/kg.
Glyphosate residues in grain can be explained by the concentrations and formulations of glyphosate products. This study aimed to evaluate the residues from glyphosate formulations labeled with C-14-glyphosate applied to leaves of glyphosate-resistant soybean (GRS) in two life cycles by liquid scintillation spectrometry. Different plant tissues were analyzed after the end of the plants' life cycles. The experimental design was four repetitions of three treatments: Roundup (R) Original, Roundup Ready(R), and unformulated glyphosate (control). The application of the dosing solution was 120 mu L on the first four trifoliate leaves (10 mu L per leaflet) of each plant, deposited manually with a 1-mu L dispenser. All treatment solutions were calculated at a 1.2 kg a.e ha(-1) of glyphosate. Glyphosate formulations of Roundup(R) Original and Roundup Ready(R) increased C-14-glyphosate distribution in GRS compared to the unformulated herbicide, regardless of the experiment (first or second cycle). Overall, the percentages of total radioactivity applied (18.33 kBq) found in grains were less than 5%. Grains, stems, and leaves showed the highest levels of herbicide residues compared to other parts of the plant. Despite the Roundup Ready(R) formulation having increased residues, the highest value found in grains, 1.95 mg kg(-1), was less than 10 mg kg(-1), the maximum residue limit (MRL) in Brazil.
