#Round up Resistant Weeds Pose a Threat to Farmers A certified crop adviser and agronomist looks for weeds resistant to glyphosate.

For 15 years, Eddie Anderson, a farmer, has been a strict adherent of no-till agriculture,

with 10 resistant species in at least 22 states infesting millions of acres, predominantly soybeans, cotton and corn.

corn and cotton that are engineered to survive spraying with Roundup have become standard in American fields.

However, if Roundup doesnt kill the weeds, farmers have little incentive to spend the extra money for the special seeds.

It kills a broad spectrum of weeds, is easy and safe to work with, and breaks down quickly, reducing its environmental impact.

allowing farmers to spray their fields to kill the weeds while leaving the crop unharmed.

and 70 percent of the corn and cotton grown in the United states . But farmers sprayed so much Roundup that weeds quickly evolved to survive it. oewhat were talking about here is Darwinian evolution in fast-forward, Mike Owen,

a weed scientist at Iowa State university, said. Now, Roundup-resistant weeds like horseweed and giant ragweed are forcing farmers to go back to more expensive techniques that they had abandoned long ago.

Mr. Anderson the farmer, is wrestling with a particularly tenacious species of glyphosate-resistant pest called Palmer amaranth,

or pigweed, whose resistant form began seriously infesting farms in western Tennessee only last year.

By combining Roundup and Roundup Ready crops, farmers did not have to plow under the weeds to control them.

Fires in Kenya last year destroyed 11,370 hectares of bush and forest land. Thirty-five percent of the already heavily deforested Mau Forest Complex was lost to fire, according to Noor Hassan Noor, an administrator in Kenyas Rift valley province.

Concerns range from worries about how nontraditional genetic traits in crops could affect human and animal health to the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds.

Weeds that resist glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, or that are hard to control surged 25 percent last year to infest 60 million acres, Antonio Galindez,

it dispensed with the issue of potential resistant weeds in two modest paragraphs. It told the agency that glyphosate is considered to be a herbicide with low risk for weed resistance.#

#The company also wrote that several university scientists agreed that it is highly unlikely that weed resistance to glyphosate will become a problem as a result of the commercialization of glyphosate-tolerant soybeans.#

#Oops. Since then, resistance to glyphosate has emerged in 20 different weed species. So, the company that helped make glyphosate so prevalent on American farms (it was used on 91 percent of U s.-grown cotton, for example, in 2007),

leading to the evolution of these tough-to-beat superweeds, is now greenlighted for afaster review process by the USDA.

spending on pesticides and fertilizer went down, and total income roughly doubled. Even if cotton remains the only GM crop in Africa,

the benefit to farmers could still be huge. Most African cotton farmers grow other crops,

sometimes planting them between rows of cotton. So if they can spend less to grow more and better cotton

these other crops should benefit, too. 7. Government support for food producers is getting better Everyone agrees that African farmers remain heavily inhibited by poor governance.

Farm extension services are notoriously inefficient. Irrigation schemes are practically nonexistent. Transport links are terrible; where proper roads do exist,

the technology has bestowed most of its benefits on agribusiness#almost always through crops modified to withstand weed-killing chemicals

This meant that farmers could kill off the majority of weeds with one herbicide rather than several,

including Monsanto s Bt cotton: a plant modified to produce a bacterial toxin that discourages destructive bollworms and cuts down on the need for pesticides.

At Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, UK, for example, scientists are working on GM plants that will need even less pesticide than Bt cotton,

Unlike Bt cotton and other existing GM organisms, such a crop would need no insect-killing chemical for protection from pests.

True Jay Holder, a farming consultant in Ashburn, Georgia, first noticed Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) in a client s transgenic cotton fields about five years ago.

Twenty-four glyphosate-resistant weed species have been identified since Roundup-tolerant crops were introduced in 1996. But herbicide resistance is a problem for farmers regardless of

Some 64 weed species are resistant to the herbicide atrazine, for example, and no crops have been modified genetically to withstand it (see The rise of superweeds).

They also controlled weeds through ploughing and tilling#practices that deplete topsoil and release carbon dioxide,
