The study presents a literature review of glyphosate (GLY) occurrence and its breakdown product, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in soils worldwide, but with specific focus on South America. In addition, an ecological risk approach based the ecotoxicological endpoints for key soil biota (e.g., collembolans, earthworms) assessed impact GLY AMPA these organisms. A generic probabilistic model human health was also calculated different world regions. For what reports edaphic species level pollution under worst-case scenario, American continent identified as region most concern. Nonetheless, other areas may be danger, no could due to lack data. Since tropical countries are top food exporters results obtained this must carefully examined their implications global scale.

A One Health approach to assess pesticide exposure levels in communities, domestic animals and wildlife in a rural landscape of Nan Province, Thailand

Human and Ecological Risk Assessment An International Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 30(5-6), P. 436 - 461

Published: June 28, 2024

The use of pesticides in agriculture has raised concerns due to their potential impact on human, animal and ecosystem health. Within a collaborative research framework, study was co-constructed between researchers local stakeholders rural communities Nan province (Thailand) assess pesticide exposure levels. A total 1,023 human serum samples were collected from volunteer participants. level organophosphate compounds showed that 12 (1.1%) 134 (13%) individuals had hazardous or risky conditions, respectively. Generalized linear modeling revealed age (older participants), chemical usage (spraying pesticide), habitat landscape characteristics (i.e., villages surrounded by orchard, forest, teak, rubber rain-fed rice) soil erosion appeared significant factors explain the exposure. In addition, domestic animals (dogs cattle) wildlife (rodents fishes) living vicinity also assessed for Applying One Health principle helps understand people, linking environmental at scale thereby developing appropriate policies regulations be implemented.

Can potato cropping be made regenerative? Cover crops and dead organic mulch support soil microbial activity

Biology and Fertility of Soils, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 22, 2025

Abstract To address the decline in soil organic matter and thus life health due to intensive tillage potato production, innovative regenerative farming approaches employ cover crops transferred dead mulch improve plant nutrition, minimize disturbance, foster microbial activity. Starting 2019 2021, three two-year field experiments were set up a that had been converted non-inversion since 2015, investigate effects of cropping before application potatoes compared weedy fallow N-fertilization with hair meal pellets as controls. For every experiment, biomass carbon (MBC), basal respiration, fungal ergosterol examined, starting crop fall until spring succeeding potatoes. In all experiments, initial on activity depended incorporated no differences between vetch-triticale or fallow. During cropping, however, especially incorporation combined grass-clover resulted increased MBC, respiration ergosterol. After plots mulched during pointing slower overall more based degradation at time those plots. These results underscore potential practices enhance microbiology cultivation.
