"Roundup is applied at a rate of 22 ounces per acre. One acre plants 35,000 seeds, (corn) which yields on average, say... 220 bushels, or over 12,000 pounds (6 tons) of grain. Since the active ingredient, glyphosate, makes up 41% as the active ingredient with an LD50 value of 5600 mg/kg and is sprayed before the edible part of the plant is present, trace residues are parts per trillion. Therefore, 86 tons of grain, about 14 acres, would be the proper (approximate) calculation to pose alarm in humans".Full credits to Farm Babe for these wonderful facts which are helping to disperse the fear created by the organic movement!Lets keep Roundup in perspective!
