Monsanto, Dow to begin pushing dangerous 2,4-D herbicide as 'solution' to superweeds
by Jonathan Benson, staff writer
(NaturalNews) It is something that many farmers of genetically-modified (GM) crops are already trying to do and failing to succeed in, but that the chemical companies responsible for the problem may soon be pushing as an alleged "solution." The Dow Chemical Company has sponsored a study that aims to position the 2,4-D herbicide, a popular commercial herbicide, as the solution to Roundup-resistant "superweeds." But 2,4-D-resistant "superweeds" have already begun emerging as well, which suggests that increased chemical interventions of any kind will only make the superweed problem worse, not better.
Year after year, GM crop farmers have to battle mutant superweeds that continue to grow stronger and more resistant to the toxic pesticides and herbicides used in GM crop cultivation. But the practice is polluting the environment, contaminating the food supply, and spurring the rampant growth of harmful superweeds.
Rather than admit they are responsible for the problem, agri-giants like Dow and Monsanto say that using different pesticides and herbicides will help solve the problem. But such a suggestion could not be further from the truth. Treating plants with increasingly higher levels and more potent concoctions of toxic chemicals is a recipe for disaster, and one that will only make the superweed problem worse.
Dow, of course, found in its own study that using 2,4-D is a successful intervention to help prevent the growth of superweeds, But a review by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, which tends to be conservative in its estimation of the environmental harm caused by pesticides and herbicides, says 2,4-D leads to "risk quotients that exceed the level of concern." In other words, Dow's "solution" is highly problematic in terms of environmental and human health.
The report found that if 2,4-D is used the way Dow suggests, humans will be exposed to dangerously high levels of the toxin, which in turn causes autoimmune disorders, cell destruction (apoptosis), nerve damage, metabolic dysfunction, and other serious problems.
The only real way to stop the spread of superweeds, if it is even still possible, is to stop planting and cultivating GM crops. Organic, sustainable growing methods do not require toxic chemical applications, which in turn do not create superweeds. They also do not pollute the food supply and the environment with extremely toxic chemicals like GM crop cultivation methods do.

Monsanto, Dow per iniziare spingendo pericoloso erbicida 2,4-D come 'soluzione' di super-infestanti
by Jonathan Benson, staff writer di Jonathan Benson, scrittore personale
(NaturalNews) It is something that many farmers of genetically-modified (GM) crops are already trying to do and failing to succeed in, but that the chemical companies responsible for the problem may soon be pushing as an alleged "solution." (NaturalNews) E 'qualcosa che molti agricoltori di organismi geneticamente modificati (GM) stanno già cercando di fare e non avendo successo in, ma che le aziende chimiche responsabili del problema potrebbe presto essere spingendo come un presunto "soluzione". The Dow Chemical Company has sponsored a study that aims to position the 2,4-D herbicide, a popular commercial herbicide, as the solution to Roundup-resistant "superweeds." The Dow Chemical Company ha sponsorizzato uno studio che mira a posizionare il erbicida 2,4-D, un erbicida popolare commerciale, come la soluzione al Roundup-resistenti "super-infestanti". But 2,4-D-resistant "superweeds" have already begun emerging as well, which suggests that increased chemical interventions of any kind will only make the superweed problem worse, not better. Ma 2,4-D-resistente "super-infestanti" hanno già iniziato a emergere come pure, il che suggerisce che interventi chimici maggiore di qualsiasi tipo servirà solo a rendere il problema superweed peggio, non meglio.
Year after year, GM crop farmers have to battle mutant superweeds that continue to grow stronger and more resistant to the toxic pesticides and herbicides used in GM crop cultivation. Anno dopo anno, delle colture GM agricoltori devono combattere superinfestanti mutante che continuano a crescere più forti e più resistenti ai pesticidi tossici ed erbicidi utilizzati nella coltivazione di colture transgeniche. But the practice is polluting the environment , contaminating the food supply , and spurring the rampant growth of harmful superweeds. Ma la pratica è inquinante per l'ambiente , contaminando la approvvigionamento alimentare e per stimolare la crescita dilagante di super-infestanti dannose.
Rather than admit they are responsible for the problem, agri-giants like Dow and Monsanto say that using different pesticides and herbicides will help solve the problem. Piuttosto che ammettere che sono responsabili del problema, agro-giganti come la Monsanto e Dow dire che l'utilizzo di diversi pesticidi ed erbicidi aiuterà a risolvere il problema. But such a suggestion could not be further from the truth. Ma tale proposta non potrebbe essere più lontano dalla verità. Treating plants with increasingly higher levels and more potent concoctions of toxic chemicals is a recipe for disaster, and one that will only make the superweed problem worse. Curare le piante con livelli più elevati e sempre più potenti intrugli di sostanze chimiche tossiche è una ricetta per il disastro, e uno che servirà solo a rendere il problema superweed peggio.
Dow, of course, found in its own study that using 2,4-D is a successful intervention to help prevent the growth of superweeds, But a review by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, which tends to be conservative in its estimation of the environmental harm caused by pesticides and herbicides, says 2,4-D leads to "risk quotients that exceed the level of concern." Dow, ovviamente, trovato in un proprio studio che l'utilizzo di 2,4-D è un intervento efficace per aiutare a prevenire la crescita di super-infestanti, ma un riesame da parte del Dipartimento dell'Agricoltura statunitense (USDA) Forest Service, che tende ad essere conservatore in la stima della ambientali danni causati da pesticidi ed erbicidi, dice il 2,4-D porta a "quozienti di rischio che superi il livello di preoccupazione". In other words, Dow's "solution" is highly problematic in terms of environmental and human health. In altre parole, il Dow "soluzione" è altamente problematico in termini di salute umana e dell'ambiente.
The report found that if 2,4-D is used the way Dow suggests, humans will be exposed to dangerously high levels of the toxin, which in turn causes autoimmune disorders, cell destruction (apoptosis), nerve damage, metabolic dysfunction, and other serious problems. La relazione ha rilevato che, se 2,4-D è usato il modo Dow suggerisce, gli umani saranno esposti a livelli pericolosamente alti della tossina, che a sua volta provoca disordini autoimmuni, la distruzione delle cellule (apoptosi), danni al sistema nervoso, disfunzioni metaboliche, e di altri seri problemi.
The only real way to stop the spread of superweeds, if it is even still possible, is to stop planting and cultivating GM crops . L'unico vero modo per fermare la diffusione del super-infestanti, anche se è ancora possibile, è di smettere di piantare e coltivare OGM colture . Organic, sustainable growing methods do not require toxic chemical applications, which in turn do not create superweeds. Organico, sostenibile crescente metodi non richiedono applicazioni chimiche tossiche, che a sua volta non creano superinfestanti. They also do not pollute the food supply and the environment with extremely toxic chemicals like GM crop cultivation methods do. Inoltre, non inquinano l'approvvigionamento alimentare e l' ambiente estremamente tossiche sostanze chimiche come metodi di coltivazione delle colture GM fare.
