Glyphosate Applications on Arable Fields Considerably Coincide with Migrating Amphibians

GM crops fuel rise in pesticide use despite early promises, study shows

Spread of GM crops has not contributed to chemical reductions or land reclamations, but to increased use of the pesticides they were claimed to curtail. Report: Claire Robinson GM crops have increased agriculture’s dependence on pesticides rather than reducing it, a study published in April 2025 found. Drawing on data from four GM crops – Bt cotton, herbicide-tolerant (HT) soybean, HT and/or Bt maize, and HT canola, the researchers – including a…

Glyphosate applications on arable fields considerably coincide with migrating amphibians

Glyphosate usage is increasing worldwide and the application schemes of this herbicide are currently changing. Amphibians migrating through arable fields may be harmed by Glyphosate applied to field crops. We investigated the population-based temporal coincidence of four amphibian species with Glyphosate from 2006 to 2008. Depending on a) age- and species-specific main migration periods, b) crop species, c) Glyphosate application mode for crops …

New glyphosate study sparks questions about N.B. use

A new study suggests small, consistent amounts of exposure to the herbicide glyphosate can lead to higher incidents of cancer – a finding that has Green party Leader David Coon calling on the province to take the issue seriously.

GMO Agriculture Linked To Soaring Use Of Toxic Pesticides

by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project: Proponents of genetically engineered crops and seeds promised that the technology would reduce pesticide use. However, a new study confirms that industrial agriculture’s use of genetic engineering technologies has caused pesticide use to soar. (GM Watch) Genetically modified (GM) crops have increased agriculture’s dependence on pesticides rather than reducing […]

Did decades of glyphosate use have selected for resistant amphibians in agricultural habitats?

Glyphosate-based herbicides are used worldwide, and glyphosate's primary metabolite (aminomethylphosphonic acid: AMPA), is globally retrieved in surfa…
