Description
Glyphosate is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it will kill most plants. In agriculture, many seeds have been genetically modified so farmers can apply the herbicide to the whole field. These GM crops have been engineered to be unaffected by the glyphosate so they can continue to grow unharmed and only the surrounding weeds are damaged.
Concentrations of glyphosate found in herbicides varies from 40% for commercial applications, down to 1% for weed killers marketed for home use. Pure glyphosate is actually relatively low in toxicity, products usually contain other ingredients that help the glyphosate kill the plants. It’s the other ingredients which are mixed with glyphosate that make the product more toxic.
