GM Crops Create Herbicide-resistant "Superweed"

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the still-no-chronic dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to this article GM crops under test in the UK have cross pollinated to weeds, giving them the same resistance to herbicide as the GM crops. The article also mentions that this has been reported as occurring in Canada, which like the US is well past the test stage and allows widespread use of GM crops. What's worse, in Canada crop rotation has conferred multi-herbicide resistance to some of the weeds!"

    Sir, your comment makes no sense. We are all in fact dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your immortal soul.
