Abstract

Highlights: [•] We studied the effects of agrochemical misplacements in field margins. [•] Plant frequency and reproductive capacity of four plant species were assessed. [•] Plant frequency was affected by herbicide and fertilizer treatments. [•] Reproduction was affected by the herbicide but not by the fertilizer treatment. [•] Risk assessment should include reproductive endpoints to protect plant diversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
