Abstract: The main organochlorinated compounds used on agricultural crops are often recalcitrant, affecting nontarget organisms and contaminating rivers or groundwater. Diuron (N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-N′,N′-dimethylurea) is a chlorinated herbicide widely used in sugarcane plantations. Here, we evaluated the ability… read more here.
