The fate of imazapyr herbicide in the soil amended with carbon sorbents

Excessive application of agro-chemicals is a major factor in undesired environmental problems. Imidazolinone herbicides having high activity, leaching potential, and persistence are probable risks to ecosystems. Herbicides’ stabilization using biochar is an efficient and cheap strategy to protect th...
