The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different glyphosate-based formulations on mycorrhizal colonization and nodulation in soybean cultivar RR TMG 125. The experiments were conducted under field conditions in Red-Yellow Latosol, during 2010/2011 and 2011/2012. The formulations Trop®, Roundup Original®, Roundup Ultra®, Roundup WG®, Roundup Transorb R® and ZappQi® were used at a glyphosate dose of 720 g a.e. ha-1. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with four replications and two controls (hoed control and non-hoed control). The variables shoot, nodule dry matter, and soybean yield were not influenced by the different formulations of glyphosate. For mycorrhizal colonization, it was verified that a positive effect of the herbicide Roundup Original® regarding the hoed control was not continuous in the two years of the experiment. The variable number of nodules was the most affected by the glyphosate formulations tested.
