The role of sediment in modifying the toxicity of the original formulation of Roundup® and Roundup WeatherMAX® was examined in aqueous laboratory tests. Six species of anurans (Bufo fowleri, Hyla chrysoscelis, Rana catesbeiana, Rana clamitans, Rana sphenocephala, and Rana pipiens) were exposed at Gosner stage 25 to concentrations of the 2 herbicide formulations in 96-h, static, nonrenewal experiments in the presence and absence of sediment. All species tested had lower median lethal concentration values in water-only exposures of both formulations compared with exposures with sediment.

- A study compared the toxicity of the original Roundup formulation and its components on five North American frog species in lab settings.
- R. pipiens showed the highest sensitivity, with lethal concentrations (LC50 values) indicating significant differences in toxicity between the herbicide formulation and its ingredients, particularly the surfactant MON 0818.
- The findings underscore the need for comprehensive toxicity testing of both herbicide formulations and their individual components to better understand risks to amphibian populations in aquatic environments.
The toxicity of two glyphosate formulations (the original formulation of Roundup® and Roundup WeatherMAX®) to six species of North American larval anurans was evaluated by using 96-h static, nonrenewal aqueous exposures. The 96-h median lethal concentration values (LC50) ranged from 1.80 to 4.
