                        Glufosinate is relatively non-toxic to birds, bees, earthworms and beneficial insects. It is slightly toxic to fresh

ACUTE EFFECTS:

                        water fish and aquatic invertebrates and slight to moderately toxic to marine organism.

CHRONIC EFFECTS:Produced an adaptive increase in kidney weight in several animal species. There were no observable change in kidney

                        function as a result of these weight changes. No change in tumor incidence after lifetime exposure in rats and

                        mice.
