  Herbicide scrutiny mounts as resistant weeds spread in U.S.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/28/agriculture-glyphosate-idUSL1N11S1Y220150928

But the chemical has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years in 
part because scientists and environmentalists have warned that weed 
resistance to glyphosate has become a significant problem that impacts 
crop production.

In the latest account of glyphosate-resistant weeds, U.S. weed scientist 
Dallas Peterson said this week that resistance is increasing rapidly in 
the key farming state of Kansas. The trend is a worrisome sign as weed 
resistance spreads from the southern U.S. into the Midwest and Plains 
farming states, he said.

Peterson, who is both a weed scientist at Kansas State University (KSU) 
and president of the Weed Science Society of America, said Kansas 
soybean farmers in particular are experiencing weed problems, 
particularly with a type known as Palmer amaranth. Wet weather along 
with the weed resistance contributed to the problem, he said.

"It's really kind of exploded," he said.

Farmers in other Midwestern states, including Missouri, Nebraska, and 
Illinois have reported mounting problems with weed resistance as well.

Weeds can choke off nutrients to crops hurting production, and raise 
costs for farmers who often use added chemicals or other means to combat 
the troublesome weeds.

Weed resistance across U.S. farmland is becoming such a significant 
problem that a briefing on the matter is being planned for Dec. 4 in a 
meeting room of the U.S. House of Representatives agriculture committee.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said that reliance on glyphosate by 
many farmers is the primary factor for the problem. Fourteen 
glyphosate-resistance weed species have so far been documented in U.S. 
crop production areas, according to USDA.

The use of glyphosate by farmers surged after Monsanto introduced 
glyphosate-tolerant "Roundup Ready" soybeans and other crops in the 
mid-1990s.

I ate danylyons in my spaggeti.I think they would go good on a pizza ?? Make a good salad.When man came out of the oceans he had danylions with his sea weed and clams raw.When he made fire he had steam clams. Now I go first class eating.Its roses with fried grasshoppers on my home made pizza.TreBert

Sam, there has been no warming for 18 years. Without warming there is 
nothing to drive "extreme weather" Your theories are pure bunk and lies. 
Please note CO2 has been increasing as usual for 18 years.
