Transgenic, dicamba-resistant soybean and cotton were developed to enable farmers to combat weeds that had evolved resistance to the herbicide glyphosate. The dramatic increases in dicamba use these crops facilitated have led to serious problems, including the evolution of dicamba-resistant weeds and widespread damage to susceptible crops and farming communities. Disturbingly, this pattern of dicamba use has unfolded while the total herbicide applied to soybean has nearly doubled since 2006. Without substantive changes to agricultural policy and decision making, the next ‘silver-bullet’ agrotechnology will likely be no more than another step on the transgene-facilitated herbicide treadmill. © 2024 The Authors.

转基因除草剂跑步机上又迈出了一步

转基因抗麦草畏大豆和棉花的开发使农民能够对抗已经对除草剂草甘膦产生抗药性的杂草。这些农作物对麦草畏的使用急剧增加，导致了严重的问题，包括抗性麦草畏杂草的进化以及对易感作物和农业社区的广泛损害。令人不安的是，这种麦草畏的使用模式已经出现，而自 2006 年以来，用于大豆的除草剂总量几乎翻了一番。如果农业政策和决策没有实质性改变，下一个“银弹”农业技术可能只不过是在转基因促进除草剂跑步机。 © 2024 作者。《害虫管理科学》由 John Wiley & Sons Ltd 代表化学工业协会出版。
