Abstract: Formation of N-nitrosoglyphosate was observed when different soils were treated with sodium nitrite and the herbicide glyphosate at elevated levels. The highest yield was noted in soil low in organic matter and clay contents; however, nitrosation was not affected by soil pH. At low levels of glyphosate (5 ppm) and nitrite nitrogen (2 ppm) the formation of IV-nitrosoglyphosate in soil was not observed.
