Scientists Reveal Glyphosate Poisons Crops and Soil
########################################
GM Meltdown Continues

Scientists go public on devastating ecological impacts of Roundup Ready
cropping
systems while USDA keeps mum. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho

Dire consequences from the most widely used herbicide in the world

Glyphosate-tolerant (GT) crops have spread rapidly around the world since
they
were introduced in the US in 1996, and are now planted on 85 percent of the
global area growing genetically modified (GM) crops [1]. Concomitantly,
glyphosate (commercial formulation Roundup), promoted as safe for health and
the
environment, became the most widely used herbicide in the world.

But ecological and health impacts of the GT cropping system soon came to
light,
and have been worsening relentlessly over the years while regulators turn a
blind eye (see [2, 3] Roundup Ready Sudden Death, Superweeds, Allergens...,
SiS
28; Ban Glyphosate Herbicides Now, SiS 43).

Glyphosate binds with and inactivates EPSPS, the critical enzyme in the
shikimate pathway required for the synthesis of aromatic plant metabolites
including essential amino acids phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine, as
well
as downstream products such as plant growth promoter, indoylacetic acid and
plant defence compounds, phytoalexins [4]. But glyphosate has multiple
adverse
effects that act synergistically on crop health and productivity that
extends
well beyond the plant into the soil ecosystem and the wider environment.

The GT trait depends on incorporating an EPSPS from the soil bacterium
Agrobacterium tumefaciens that is insensitive to glyphosate, hence
glyphosate is
taken up by GT plants and translocated to the growing parts of roots and
shoots,
and even exuded into the rhizosphere (soil surrounding the roots) so it can
affect the soil community of microorganisms and also subsequent crops
planted in
the soil.

Two senior scientists in the US who have been investigating the ecological
impacts of glyphosate and the Roundup Ready cropping system for decades are
warning of "dire consequences for agriculture such as rendering soils
infertile,
crops non-productive, and plants less nutritious."

Glyphosate the single most important factor predisposing plants to diseases
and
toxins

Don Huber, recently retired from Purdue University, and co-author G.S.
Johal, at
Purdue's Dept of Botany and Plant Pathology, stated in a paper published in
the
October 2009 issue of European Journal of Agronomy that the widespread use
of
glyphosate in the US can "significantly increase the severity of various
plants
diseases, impair plant defense to pathogens and diseases, and immobilize
soil
and plant nutrients rendering them unavailable for plant use."

Further, glyphosate stimulates the growth of fungi and enhances the
virulence of
pathogens such as Fusarium, and "can have serious consequences for
sustainable
production of a wide range of susceptible crops." They warn that "Ignoring
potential non-target detrimental side effects of any chemical, especially
used
as heavily as glyphosate, may have dire consequences for agriculture such as
rendering soils infertile, crops non-productive, and plants less
 nutritious."

In an interview [5] with the Organic & Non-GMO Report, Huber said he has
been
researching glyphosate for 20 years, and began noticing problems when he saw
a
consistent increase in "take-all", a fungal disease of wheat, when
glyphosate
had been applied in a previous year to control weeds. He found glyphosate
reduced manganese in plants, which is essential to many plant defence
reactions
against disease and environmental stress. Glyphosate can immobilize plant
nutrients such as manganese, copper, potassium iron, magnesium, calcium, and
zinc, so they are no longer nutritionally functional. Basically, glyphosate
completely weakens the plant, making it susceptible to soil-borne fungal
pathogens. "That is one reason why we see an increase in plant diseases," he
said.

There has been a general increase in the number of plant diseases in the
past 15
to 18 years. Four primary soil fungi,  Fusarium, Phythium, Rhizoccccctonia,
and
Phytophthora, have become more active with the use of glyphosate; and
concomitantly, diseases caused by these fungi have increased, such as head
scab
in corn, or root rot in soybeans, crown rot in sugar beets. Fusarium head
blight, which affects cereal crops, is a disease that produces a mycotoxin
that
could enter the food chain.

There are more than 40 diseases reported with the use of glyphosate, and the
number keeps growing as people recognize the association, Huber said.

When asked if glyphosate is "environmentally benign" as claimed by
proponents,
he answered "Absolutely not. That's an outright mistaken notion. Glyphosate
is
the single most important agronomic factor predisposing some plants to both
disease and toxins. These toxins can produce a serious impact on the health
of
animals and humans.
