GMOs Will Create “Superweeds”

“Superweeds” have been slowly starting to increase around the world. A superweed is an unwanted plant that is resistant to glyphosate or other herbicides. On the surface, it seems that this is a natural consequence of genetically modified crops passing on genetic material.However, studies from Purdue University and other institutions have found no evidence that GMOs have contributed to the development of these superweeds. Instead, the true cause of superweeds is the overuse of herbicides by farmers and the production by plants as they naturally evolve.
