- Observation At 6 m downwind soybean was dead at 3 weeks after application.
- Observation At 6 m downwind cotton sustained 85% visual injury at 3 weeks after application.
- Observation Soybean injury was absent beyond 25.6 m downwind at 3 weeks after application.
- Observation Cotton injury was absent beyond 35.4 m downwind at 3 weeks after application.
- Observation Soybean chlorophyll reduction at the spray edge was 80%, higher than cotton.
- Observation Cotton chlorophyll reduction at the spray edge was 43%, lower than soybean.
- Association Soybean shikimate levels decreased with downwind distance from 1518% at 0 m to 209% at 35.4 m.
- Association Cotton shikimate levels decreased with downwind distance from 464% at 0 m to 0% at 35.4 m.
- Intervention effect Shoot dry weight in both crops was reduced by 5–13% at 35.4 m downwind.
- Intervention effect Plant height in both crops was reduced by 6–8% at 35.4 m downwind.
- Association Soybean was more susceptible to glyphosate drift than cotton.
