Aquatic Effects
Seston is particulate matter of organic origin suspended in water,
usually detritus from surrounding bush and forest. It adsorbs
glyphosate much more readily than soil particles. However, this
adsorption can complex the chemical so that it can move into the
aquatic environment by erosion. This changes the effect of the
compound on aquatic organisms and it can alter the rate of chemical
and biological degradation.

Several studies have been done on aquatic organisms.

So what? Roundup is supposed to be used as a herbicide *on land*. How is
it supposed to get into the water? Remember that it is deactivated mighty
quickly when it gets into the soil.

Fritz, you're thicker than a devon toffee, can you actually read?

However, low
concentrations of chemicals in the aqueous environment often can be
excreted by most aquatic organisms without adverse effect to either
themselves or the community in which they live. For these reasons, in
these studies, it becomes difficult to interpret the data. In
general, several studies reported that the increased toxicity of
Roundup is due to the surfactant (MON 0818) present in the
formulation.

Would that be the same surfactant which is used in washing liquids?

How long did it take you to copy that from wherever you found it.
What on earth does that gaebage have to do with thre use of glyphosate as a
herbicide on terrestrial plants?

You must be truly short of a case if you have had to resort to copying all
that here.

Poor Fritz, no wonder you lost the war.
can I talk about the war now?
