With so many crops engineered to withstand a particular herbicide like glyphosate, how likely is it that this standardization also creates a single bio profile that can be targeted?
If a bacteria gains antibiotic resistance, we declare the bug stronger and ourselves vulnerable. If we make wheat resistant to an herbicide, we declare it weaker and ourselves vulnerable.
