Imidazolinones are a group of herbicides with high potential of leaching and long half-lives that are posing a threat to water resources� quality especially in tropical areas. Biochar, a carbon-rich bio-sorbent, has shown its ability to stabilise organic substances in soils and therefore, potentia...
