- Application of glyphosate or paraquat before the emergence of maize plants (Zea mays L.) had no detectable effect on the rhizosphere or endophyte bacterial community structure under the tested field conditions (2026) · Frontiers in Microbiology · doi
The effect of herbicides on the rhizosphere and endophytic bacterial community is still largely unknown. There is a need to investigate the effect of different herbicides and agricultural practices on the bacterial community in soils.
