2.Roundup Blamed for Plant Disease, Super Weeds, Lowered Fertility Rates
3.Delays pile up in investigation of biotech woes
NOTE: The number of mainstream agricultural experts raising serious concerns over Monsanto's Roundup herbicide is growing all the time. These 3 recent articles report on the concerns raised by government scientist Bob Kremer, a microbiologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service (item 1); Michael McNeill, a PhD in genetics and botany from Iowa State (item 2); and plant pathologist and former Purdue University professor Don Huber (item 3).
The problems they variously identify around Roundup and Roundup Ready crops include:
*reductions in yields
*rapidly spreading weed resistance
*a rise in fungal root disease
*a rise in sudden death syndrome in soybeans
*a rise in wilt in corn
*proliferation of a damaging microscopic organism
*a higher incidence of infertility and/or early-term abortion in cattle, hogs and poultry fed on Roundup Ready crops
