‌ The effects of glyphosate on soil mainly include the effects on soil microorganisms and plant growth. ‌ ‌

Glyphosate is a kind of endosorption conduction broad-spectrum herbicide, mainly through the branches and leaves or roots into the plant body, will be transferred to other parts of the plant, and finally through the roots into the soil. Glyphosate is quickly combined with iron, aluminum and other metal ions to lose activity, and has no adverse effects on seeds and soil microorganisms hidden in the soil. However, the failure of glyphosate in soil is a relatively slow process, and although it is less harmful to plants, it still takes time to wear off. Especially in soils with higher viscosity, glyphosate will last longer.
