Discussion

Assessment of genotoxicity and seedling effects from flumioxazin herbicide in multiple plant species, suggesting caution in agricultural practices.

Significant adverse effects were noted on seedling development across four plant species, particularly at high concentrations of flumioxazin.
Triticum aestivum showed the highest sensitivity to flumioxazin, while other species displayed varying effects during growth stages.
Analysis included testing for genotoxicity, revealing impacts on Allium cepa that exceed recommended application rates for safety.
Evidence calls for careful consideration of agrochemical applications to mitigate risks in ecosystems and encourage sustainable agriculture practices.

Oliveira et al. (2025) studied this question.
