	Glyphosate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glyphosate is an aminophosphonic analogue of the natural amino acid glycine and the name is a contraction of glycine, phospho-, and -ate.
		Glyphosate is one of the most toxic herbicides, with many species of wild plants being damaged or killed by applications of less than 10 micrograms per plant.
		Glyphosate is one of a number of herbicides used by the United States government to spray Colombian coca fields through Plan Colombia.

	glyphosate
		Glyphosate is the active ingredient of some of the most common herbicides used in farming and gardening.
		While pure Glyphosate has a low acute toxicity (the amount needed to cause death), when it is sold as a commercial herbicide it is combined with surfactants and other ingredients to make it more effective at killing plants.
		Glyphosate caused a decrease in the sperm count of rats and an increase in abnormal and dead sperms in rabbits.

	Glyphosate
		Glyphosate bound to soil particles may still be toxic and bioavailable to filter feeders, such as crustaceans and molluscs, and potentially other organisms that ingest significant quantities of soil during normal feeding, including bottom-feeding fish, shorebirds, amphibians, and some mammals.
		Glyphosate’s toxicity is compounded by its persistence in the environment.
		Glyphosate has been found to inhibit growth (at 50ppm) of 59% of randomly selected soil bacteria, fungal, actinomycete, and yeast isolates; of nine herbicides tested, glyphosate was the second most toxic." This infers that with extensive glyphosate use, soil microbes are killed which degrade glyphosate, thus slowing degradation and increasing persistence.

	NRA Review of Glyphosate
		This is because glyphosate binds strongly to soil particles and is readily metabolised by soil microorganisms.
		The rapid translocation of glyphosate from the foliage of treated plants to the roots, rhizomes and apical meristems results in the total destruction of hard to kill perennial weeds and is one of the main reasons for glyphosate's effectiveness and popularity.
		One commented that glyphosate has long been regarded as a "safe" herbicide to use in and near watercourses and several States thought it important that this reputation not be lost when it is chemical additives that appear to be causing the problem.

	About Glyphosate - Monsanto's Roundup
		Monsanto claims resistance to glyphosate is unlikely to emerge in the field because it does not persist in soil.
		Glyphosate resistant weeds could also arise if there is gene flow between the soybean and a related wild plant or if the soybean survives to emerge as a weed ("a volunteer") in the subsequent crop.
		There would be an extra penalty for farmers growing glyphosate resistant crops if glyphosate resistant weeds evolved, because not only would they have to change their weed control practices but they would have paid a premium for the herbicide resistant seed in the first place.

	4.17 Glyphosate (T,R)
		Glyphosate was evaluated toxicologically by the 1986 JMPR, which allocated an ADI of 0-0.3 mg/kg bw.
		Metabolic studies with glyphosate in hydroponically-grown maize, wheat, cotton and soya beans have shown the conversion of glyphosate to AMPA and further degradation in plant tissues.
		The limit of determination was 0.05 mg/kg in cotton seed and hay and recoveries of glyphosate and AMPA respectively at 0.05-0.4 mg/kg fortification levels were 66.3-89.4% and 66.0-84.9% in cotton hay, and 56.7-74.8% and 63.4-93.2% in cotton seed.

	ISU Weed Science Online - Waterhemp and Glyphosate
		The objectives of the research are to determine the level of tolerance/resistance to glyphosate and identify the mechanisms that allow these populations to survive glyphosate.
		This research confirms that the ability of the waterhemp from 'problem fields' to survive glyphosate is due to genetic differences among the populations since all plants were grown under identical conditions and treated at the same growth stage.
		While the waterhemp populations being studied have a higher level of tolerance to glyphosate than normally seen in waterhemp, the farmers managing these problem fields are still relying on glyphosate to manage the waterhemp.

	Glyphosate Found in Wastewater Discharged to Streams
		Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and is widely used to control weeds in both agricultural fields and in urban and suburban settings.
		Glyphosate was more frequently detected in the wastewater (27%) and in the downstream samples (20%) than it was in the upstream samples (12%).
		The discharge of the streams and the wastewater outfalls in this study were generally lower when compared to the discharge of the streams in a study of the occurrence of glyphosate in streams draining agricultural areas, so further research is needed to determine the relative loads (mass) of glyphosate from various sources.

	Sorting Through the Glyphosate Jungle
		Glyphosate was originally produced exclusively by Monsanto, and it was formulated as a 4 lb/gal isopropylamine salt.
		The salt is held to the glyphosate molecule by weak bonds.
		Thus, the glyphosate that reaches the leaf surface is often not associated with the salt it was formulated with.

	Glyphosate Toxic & Roundup Worse
		Glyphosate kills plants by inhibiting the enzyme, 5-enolpyruvoyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthetase (EPSPS), essential for the formation of aromatic amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan; which leads onto vitamins and many secondary metabolites such as folates, ubiquinones and naphthoquines.
		However, glyphosate acts by preventing the binding of phosphoenol pyruvate to the active site of the enzyme, and phosphoenol pyruvate is a core metabolite present in all organisms; thus it has the potential to affect other metabolic pathways.
		In this study, glyphosate and its surfactant in Roundup were also found to act in synergy to increase damage to the liver [5].
