No Shit, Sherlock; Evolutionary Edition

Overuse of a single pesticide results in weeds that are immune to it. "Roundup", aka glyphosate, has been sprayed over fields for almost twenty years and now the weeds have evolved.

Monsanto's probably more than a bit to blame for this. I don't doubt for a picosecond that Monsanto overhyped and oversold the benefits of glyphosate to farmers.

But evolution and nature* will not be denied.

Glyphosate seems to act as a fertilizer on bind weed. Got a lovely green garden full of the stuff.

This isn't an interesting story yet. It will get interesting when Monsanto sues anybody else in the world that develops a week killer, because they can prove that their product has modified all weeds, through evolution, and therefore weeds are a Monsanto IP. Any successful weed killer must therefore be illegal reverse engineering.
