• Glyphosate-Resistant Italian Ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) in California: Distribution, Response to Glyphosate, and Molecular Evidence for an Altered Target Enzyme (2008, background): “Glyphosate has several positive attributes as a herbicide, including effectiveness on a wide range of species, low mammalian toxicity, and no activity in the soil, which have contributed to making it a key weed management tool in modern agriculture (Baylis 2000).”
• Glyphosate-induced impairment of plant growth and micronutrient status in glyphosate-resistant soybean (Glycine max L.) (2008, background): “spectrum herbicide in the world (Baylis 2000; Service 2007).”
• Proactive Versus Reactive Management of Glyphosate-Resistant or -Tolerant Weeds1 (2005, background): “After more than 25 yr of sales, glyphosate is the world’s largest selling and fastest-growing agrochemical (Baylis 2000).”
• A Decade of Glyphosate-Resistant Lolium around the World: Mechanisms, Genes, Fitness, and Agronomic Management (2009, background): “…its introduction in 1974, glyphosate has been widely used for the control of weeds prior to crop seeding, interrow spraying, in orchards, for weed control in non-cropped areas, and, more recently, as a broadspectrum weed control within glyphosate-tolerant crops (Baylis 2000; Duke and Powles 2008).”
• Glyphosate-resistant Hairy Fleabane (Conyza Bonariensis) in Spain (2007, background): “These unique characteristics make it the world’s most important herbicide (Baylis 2000; Woodburn 2000).”
• Ecological fitness of a glyphosate-resistant Lolium rigidum population: Growth and seed production along a competition gradient (2007, background): “Since its discovery in the 1970s, the broad spectrum, non-selective herbicide glyphosate (N(phosphonomethyl)glycine) has become a key component of weed control programs throughout the world (Baylis, 2000).”
• Glyphosate-resistant Horseweed (Conyza canadensis) Control Using Glyphosate-, Paraquat-, and Glufosinate-Based Herbicide Programs (2008, background): “GR crops such as cotton and soybean allow producers to control a broad spectrum of weed species with in-season applications of glyphosate (Baylis 2000).”
• Efficacy of glyphosate, glufosinate, and imazethapyr on selected weed species (2003, background): “In addition, its low cost and effective weed control have encouraged the implementation of reduced tillage practices (Baylis 2000; Biederbeck et al. 1997; Gray et al. 1996).”
• Simulating evolution of glyphosate resistance in Lolium rigidum II: past, present and future glyphosate use in Australian cropping (2003, background): “Glyphosate, a broad spectrum, non-selective herbicide, is the world’s most important and widely used herbicide (Baylis, 2000; Woodburn, 2000).”
• Chemical Pesticides and Human Health: The Urgent Need for a New Concept in Agriculture (2016, background): “More emphasis is given to the widely used herbicide “glyphosate,” which is an organophosphate pesticide very closely related to current agriculture (47).”
• Glyphosate reduces spore viability and root colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (2013, background): “Although glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) is the most widely used herbicide in the world due to low production costs and high efficiency (Baylis, 2000), its effects on non-target microorganisms are still unclear.”
• Evolution of Glyphosate-Resistant Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) in Glyphosate-Resistant Soybean (2007, background): “High efficacy, broad weed spectrum, low mammalian toxicity, and lack of soil activity are key features that make glyphosate the world’s most widely used herbicide (Baylis 2000).”
