Claims have been made recently that glyphosate-resistant (GR) crops sometimes have
mineral deficiencies and increased plant disease. This review evaluates the literature that is …

As all herbicides act on pathways or processes crucial to plants, in an inhibitory or
stimulatory way, low rates of any herbicide might be used to modulate plant growth …

Herbicide hormesis is commonly observed at subtoxic doses of herbicides and other
phytotoxins. The occurrence and magnitude of this phenomenon are influenced by plant …
