Above: Spraying the whole GMO RoundupReady crop with Monsanto's Roundup (glyphosate) was originally supposed to kill all the weeds while soybeans, corn or other glyphosate-resistant crops would survive. There has been a more than 1900% increase in glyphosate use on RoundupReady soybeans from 1994 to 2006, according to the Center for Food Safety in May 2008. Below: But RoundupReady crops have ironically provoked “frankenstein weeds” that are no longer killed by Roundup glyphosate, but thrive causing even more problems.This graph shows the rising number of known glyphosate-resistant weed species in United States since 1996.
