Glyphosate is a broad spectrum, non-selective systemic
herbicide.
“We are increasingly seeing more and more samples
of surface water coming up with residues [of glyphosate], and this is affecting frogs that live there,” Patty Lovera, assistant director of Food & Water Watch, an advocacy group, told IPS. “Potatoes and carrots are also picking it up in the soil – there are multiple routes of exposure.”

levels, thus restricting the amount allowed will not be effective.
