Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Plant breeding - Classical plant breeding

Classical plant breeding uses deliberate interbreeding (crossing) of closely or distantly related species to produce new crops with desirable properties. Plants are crossed to introduce traits/genes from one species into a new genetic background. For example, a mildew resistant pea may be crossed with a high-yielding but susceptible pea, the goal of the cross being to introduce mildew resistance without losing the high-yield characteristics. Progeny from the cross would then be crossed with the high-yielding parent to ensure that the ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Pesticide - Dangers of Pesticides

Pesticides can present danger to consumers, bystanders, or workers during manufacture, transport, or during and after use. There is concern that pesticides used to control pests on food crops are dangerous to the consumer. These concerns are one reason for the organic food movement. Food crops, including many fruits and vegetables such as apples, celery, cherries, grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears, peppers, potatoes, red raspberries, spinach and strawberries may contain pesticide residues after being washed or peeled. Residues, permitted by ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Decline in frog populations - Pollution

Pollutants are causing frog deformities such as multiple limbs, stunted growth or misplaced eyes. Researcher and naturalist Gary Fellers has been tracking the deformation and decline of the frog population in Yosemite National Park in California. He attributed these occurrences directly to "pesticides wafting over the Sierra Nevada mountains from...farms in California's Central Valley". ("What's Killing the Frogs?” Newsweek May 13, 2003, pg 46). Pollutants have varying effects on frogs. Some alter the central nervous system; others like atrazine cause a disruption in the production and se ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Transgenic maize - Bt corn

Bt corn is a variant of maize, genetically altered to express the bacterial Bt toxin, which is poisonous to insect pests. In the case of corn, the pest is the European Corn Borer. Expressing the toxin was achieved by inserting a gene from the soil-dwelling microorganism Bacillus thuringiensis into the corn genome. This gene codes for a toxin that will crystallize in the digestive tract ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Coca eradication - Results

In November 2003, the US Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) claimed the area planted with coca in Peru and Bolivia combined fell by 35 km² in the year up to June, which would suggest that a crop eradication program in neighboring Colombia was not driving production over the borders. According to its estimates, the area cultivated with coca in Bolivia rose from 244 km² in 2002 to 284.5 km² in June 2003, but this increase was more than offset in Peru, wher ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Monsanto - Corporate history

Monsanto was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1901, by John Francis Queeny, a 30-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. He funded the start-up with his own money and capital from a soft drink distributor, and gave the company his wife's maiden name. Monsanto's first product was the artificial sweetener, saccharin, which it sold to the Coca-Cola Company. It also introduced caffeine and vanillin to Coca-Cola, and became one of that company's main suppliers. In the 1920s, Monsanto expanded into basic industrial chemicals like sulfuric acid. In 1928, Queeny's so ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Herbicide - History

Prior to the widespread use of chemical herbicides, cultural controls, such as altering soil pH, salinity, or fertility levels, were used to control weeds. Mechanical control (including tillage) was also (and still is) used to control weeds. The first widely used herbicide was 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, often abbreviated 2,4-D. It was developed by a British team during World War II and first saw widespread production and use in the late 1940s. It is easy and inexpensive to manufacture, and kills many broadleaf plants while leavin ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Pesticide - Managing pest resistance

Pest resistance to a pesticide is commonly managed through pesticide rotation or tankmixing with other pesticides. Rotation involves alternating among pesticide classes with different modes of action to delay the onset of or mitigate existing pest resistance. Different pesticide classes may be active on different pest sites of action. The U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA or USEPA), for example, designates different classes of fungicides. Pesticide manufacturers may, on product labeling, require that no more than a specified number of co ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Pesticide - History

Since before 500 BC, humans have used pesticides to prevent damage to their crops. The first known pesticide was sulfur. By the 15th century, toxic chemicals such as arsenic, mercury and lead were being applied to crops to kill pests. In the 17th century, nicotine sulfate was extracted from tobacco leaves for use as an insecticide. The 19th century saw the introduction of two more natural pesticides, pyrethrum which is derived from crysanthemums, and rotenone which is derive ...

In the US, all materials intended for sale and use as pesticides must be registered with the EPA. The process may be long, complex and expensive. It requires studies to be performed that indicate whether the material is effective against the intended pest and safe to use. During the registration process, a pesticide label is created which contains directions for the proper use of the material. Use inconsistent with the label is ...

Roundup: Encyclopedia II - Monsanto - Monsanto operations outside of North America
