DTN Production Blog: Fellow Farmer's Observations
Last week BRT Ag and Turf came to plant a corn plot at the farm - it was a big plot covering between 30 and 35 acres using a conventional non-GM hybrid and a BRT fertilizer program. I whacked out the cover crop and winter annuals with Gramoxone and then sprayed on a generic atrazine and metalochlor residual. Click here for complete article.
Ag Chemical and Crop Nutrient Interactions – Current Update
Don M. Huber, Emeritus Professor, Purdue University
Thirty+ years ago, U.S. agriculture started a conversion to a monochemical herbicide program focused around glyphosate (Roundup®). The near simultaneous shift from conventional tillage to no-till or minimum tillage stimulated this conversion and the introduction of genetically modified crops tolerant to glyphosate. The introduction of genetically modified (Roundup Ready®) crops has greatly increased the volume and scope of glyphosate usage, and conversion of major segments of crop production to a monochemical herbicide strategy.

Glyphosate
Pesticide Action Network Asia and the Pacific (PANAP)
Glyphosate is sprayed on numerous crops and plantations, including nearly 80% of genetically modified (GM) crops (canola, corn, cotton, soybean, sugar beet); with relatively high levels permitted as residues in food and animal feed. It is used as a pre-harvest desiccant, and because it is a systemic herbicide it cannot be completely removed from food by washing, peeling or processing. It is widely used in home gardens and public places including roadsides. Click here for complete article.
