glyphosate

Obviously, glyphosate-resistant crops would not be dessicated pre-harvest with glyphosate, but they would have been sprayed with it during the growing season.

That herbicide is glyphosate because of the wide use of glyphosate on Roundup-ready crops.

If I had to choose exposure to retenone or glyphosate, I guess I'd go with glyphosate, which at least isn't neurotoxic.

They're talking about the glyphosate you breathe in, year after year, when you're a worker on that non-organic farm handling glyphosate without proper safety equipment.

The main issue is that the microbiology of soil is largely under estimated by the industries selling glyphosate-based products.

If glyphosate isn't as productive for farmers as Monsanto claims, why is it so overwhelmingly widely used in modern agriculture?

They aren't talking about the glyphosate you eat when you eat food from a non-organic farm.

A similiar experiment could be performed on a random sample of ordinary people, with glyphosate.

GMOs are resistant to glyphosate so the farmer can apply less of it, but do so earlier in the crop cycle.

Fair enough, but my understanding is that the quantities of glyphosate sprayed on Roundup Ready crops tends to be much larger.

There are an increasing number of studies listing the harmful effects of glyphosate (Roundup) poisoning.

So a better statement would say something like: the table only lists glyphosate being applied to 45% of one of the types.

Predictably, just like overuse of antibiotics in confined factory farms has created resistant "supergerms" leading to animals being overdosed with ever more powerful antibiotics, we now have huge swaths of the country infested with "superweeds" and "superbugs" resistant to glyphosate and Bt, meaning more volume of more toxic pesticides are being applied.

Glyphosate (Roundup) is not known to be carcinogenic to humans.

Glyphosate has very low toxicity in mammals.
