Herbicides account for 75% of the pesticide use in U.S. agriculture (Wauchope et al., 1994). The chemical company Monsanto has gone to the trouble of genetically modifying soybeans and other crops so that they are more resistant to the herbicide "Roundup" (glyphosate), which is one of their leading sources of income. The purpose is to increase sales of the herbicide, which winds up in the watershed.
