Abstract:

Over half the soybeans planted in the United States in 1999 are varieties genetically engineered to tolerate applications of the broad-spectrum, contact herbicide glyphosate manufactured by Monsanto Company (Trade Name, Roundup). Just a small fraction of soybeans produced in 1996 were “Roundup Ready” — varieties able to tolerate direct applications of glyphosate herbicide.

Keywords: genetically modified (GM) soybean, genetically engineered (GE), Roundup Ready soybean, glyphosate tolerant soybean, transgenic crops, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), glyphosate, pesticides, herbicides, yield drag, Monsanto
