CONT

Roundup Ready® plants produce the same natural proteins as any other plant with one notable exception. These plants make an additional protein which allows them to grow in the presence of Glyphosate, known commercially as "Roundup," one of the most widely-used herbicides employed by back-yard gardeners, homeowners, golf courses and commercial farms for the past 25 years. The protein is not a toxin to plants, animals, insects, humans or bacteria.

CONT

Crops of Roundup Ready plants, such as canola, may be safely sprayed with Roundup herbicide after the crop has emerged, so that non-glyphosate resistant plants such as weeds are killed, without harming the crop of interest.

OBS

Roundup Ready®: A registered trademark of Monsanto Company.
