This Article contains errors.In the Methods section under subheading ‘Analysis of the effects of the herbicides and the herbicide-loaded nanoparticles on soil microbiota’,“The chemical composition of the soil was characterized using X-ray fluorescence, considering the elements aluminum, calcium, chlorine, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, titanium, chromium, manganese, zinc, strontium, yttrium, zirconium, arsenic, and bromine (Table 2).”should read:“The chemical composition of the soil was characterized using X-ray fluorescence (University of Sorocaba multiuser laboratory of Applied Nuclear Physics – Lafinau), considering the elements aluminum, calcium, chlorine, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, titanium, chromium, manganese, zinc, strontium, yttrium, zirconium, arsenic, and bromine (Table 2).”In Table 2, ‘mg/cm2’ should read ‘wt. (%)’. In addition, the error values were omitted. The correct Table 2 appears below as Table 1.
