Robert Kremer Ph.D, co-author of the book Principles in Weed Management, is a certified soil scientist and professor of Soil Microbiology at the University of Missouri. He recently retired from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) where he worked as a microbiologist for 32 years. He’s conducted research since 1997 on genetically engineered (GE) crops.
In this interview he reveals how GE crops and glyphosate impact soil ecology and biology.
Roundup Causes Buildup of Pathogens on Root Systems
Prior to the advent of genetically engineered (GE) crops, his research projects were focused on plant and microorganism interactions in the soil.
It was well-known that one of the secondary mechanisms of actions of glyphosate was that it tended to cause the plant to become infected with opportunistic soil pathogens.
