Researchers warn that agricultural weed management through herbicide-resistant crops is an unsustainable pathway that will worsen the massive problem of herbicide-resistant weeds in the country. […]

An independent pilot study on glyphosate residues in GE herbicide-resistant soybeans grown in Argentina has found high levels with some samples exceeding permissible limits. […] The USDA has approved the first of a new generation of GE crops resistant to more toxic herbicides, a move that raises serious health and environmental concerns. […] Glyphosate is the world’s most popular herbicide applied not only on farms but also in forests, parks, public spaces and gardens. For years, industry has claimed that glyphosate is minimally toxic to humans but new studies indicate otherwise. […] A recent study on herbicide-tolerant GE crops in the US examined USDA and EPA data, and has revealed that herbicide use has increased substantially since the latter half of the 90s. […] Scientific research indicates that aquatic invertebrate ecology can be adversely affected by relevant ambient concentrations of glyphosate. […] This briefing by FOE Europe assesses the impacts of GE herbicide-tolerant crops in the Americas and the implications for the EU should it adopts such crops. […] An explosion of glyphosate resistant weeds forces Monsanto to run away from farmers’ rising weed control costs. […] UK government-funded field trial plantings of genetically modified oilseed rape show adverse environmental effects, leading to more doubts on GM crops. […] Researchers in the US have found that Monsanto’s herbicide-resistant soya beans are cracking up in the heat. When grown in hot climates, genetic alterations to the plant seem to cause the stems to split open causing crop losses of up to 40 per cent. […] |
