Glyphosate – How it Became a Once in a Hundred Year Herbicide and its Future

December 3, 2018 in In The News

Outlooks on Pest Management | By Duke et al.

More than a decade ago we termed glyphosate a “once in a century herbicide” (Duke & Powles, 2008). We designated glyphosate with this distinction in 2008 even though we were only 60 years into the age of synthetic herbicides. As synthetic herbicide use began about 1945, we are fast approaching the 75th year of the herbicide era. Also, it is nearly 50 years since first use of glyphosate. Glyphosate has been by far the world’s most used herbicide for about two decades, and it currently makes substantial contributions to world food production. The history of how this molecule attained such importance and our views on the growing biological challenges (herbicide resistance evolution) to its future use in feeding a growing world population are discussed.

Five-Point Plan to address potential future Roundup™ claims

Bayer today provided an update on its five-point plan to address future Roundup™ litigation risk after its May 27th decision to withdraw from the national class process. The company is now in more control of important aspects of the risk mitigation process and has sketched out two basic scenarios going forward to provide a path to closure of this litigation. The first scenario is based on obtaining a favorable decision by the United States Supreme Court on a cross-cutting issue like federal preemption which would effectively and largely end the U.S. Roundup™ litigation. The second scenario assumes that the Supreme Court either declines to hear the Hardeman case or issues a ruling in favor of plaintiff – in that case the company would activate its own claims administration program.
