Assessing the Effects of β-Triketone Herbicides on the Soil Bacterial and hppd Communities: A Lab-to-Field Experiment

Maize cultivators often use β-triketone herbicides to prevent the growth of weeds in their fields. These herbicides target the 4-HPPD enzyme of dicotyledons. This enzyme, encoded by the hppd gene, is widespread among all living organisms including soil bacteria, which are considered as “non-target o...
