GalleryA new study by Argentine researchers (see abstract below) shows that dicamba and glyphosate herbicide formulations cause genetic damage in the larvae of a species of toad, Rhinella arenarum, when used separately.
Genotoxic effect of a binary mixture of dicamba-

Dr Herbert: Field-Realistic Doses of Glyphosate Lead to Honeybee Starvation
A new study published in the Journal of Experimental Biology establishes a link between the world’s most sold herbicide Roundup and the dramatic decline in honeybee (Apis mellifera) populations in North American and Europe that lead to the coining of the

Dr Krüger: Glyphosate Increases Birth Defects in Piglets
Glyphosate has been found in malformed piglets. The research study was conducted by a team of researchers from Germany and Egypt in collaboration with the Danish pig farmer Ib Pedersen, whose pigs were analysed for glyphosate content. (more…)
