  15. [ASAP] Effect of Imidacloprid Uptake from Contaminated Soils on Vegetable Growth

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • In the present study, the effect of imidacloprid uptake from contaminated soils on the growth of leaf vegetable Shanghaiqing was investigated. The result showed that during 35-day exposure, the concentration of imidacloprid (IMI) was in the order of vegetable shoots > vegetable roots > soil, indicating that IMI was more readily concentrated in vegetable shoots than in roots.
