With the unprecedented growth of the agricultural system, the use of synthetic agrochemicals has also increased as pest control agents in consumer crops. Herbicides have experienced a 10% growth in the last decade, leaving glyphosate, a substance associated with possible health effects and possible accumulation in the environment, as the most widely used herbicide worldwide [1,2].
