The widespread use of genetically modified crops in the United States has led to the emergence of "super weeds" resistant to standard herbicides. In Nebraska, farmers report weeds growing seven feet tall that survive 24 times the recommended dose of chemicals. In response, Dow AgroSciences has developed corn resistant to 2,4-D, a primary ingredient in Agent Orange, to allow for more aggressive spraying.

- **Time:** 58:36–1:00:06
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/282-gaga-little-boy/chapter/super-weeds-and-glyphosate-resistance.md

*Science Daily* reports on the rise of "super weeds" that have developed resistance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup. These weeds are spreading across 22 states, threatening the production of corn, soybeans, and cotton. The hosts link this agricultural crisis to a lack of oversight at the Department of Agriculture.

### Super Weeds, Pesticide Resistance in Agriculture

- **Episode:** [206: Cameras as Weapons](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/206-cameras-as-weapons.md)
- **Published:** 2010-06-06
- **Time:** 55:55–58:06

Farmers in the Southern United States are facing an "agricultural arms race" against pesticide-resistant super weeds. These plants have evolved resistance to Monsanto's Roundup Ready system, creating a nightmare for large-scale agribusiness. The hosts discuss how these genetic traits are spreading through the environment, complicating traditional farming practices.
