| Glory be: Scientists
ID morning glory families that could cause problems for farmers
Morning glories are beloved mailbox flowers all over rural
America, but to farmers, they are something else: a noxious
weed that can lower yields and choke harvesting combines.
For some 30 years, the herbicide glyphosate has quite effectively
kept morning glories out of farm fields.
Now however, for the first time, UGA scientists have identified
morning glory families that are tolerant to glyphosate, and
that could therefore cause problems for the country’s
farmers. |
