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._________________________________________ *Though there is likely no such entity as "Mother Nature". For if She existed, She would have wiped our species out a few centuries ago.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Glyphosate seems to act as a fertilizer on bind weed. Got a lovely green garden full of the stuff.
ReplyDeleteYep, now what coach???
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
