The residual effect of herbicides in the soil on sensitive succeeding crops is known as carryover. Most studies on carryover in vegetable crops have been developed in other countries; however, the problems arising from this phenomenon are also a reality in Brazil.

This impact may occur both in parallel to other cultivated crops, and in remaining vegetation next to farmland. Little is known about the effect that herbicides can present in these non-target species, and they are of considerable importance both in food production and in the conservation of natural landscapes. This study aims to […]
