What are round up ready seeds? - Answers

Roundup Ready seeds are genetically modified seeds developed by Monsanto (now part of Bayer) that are engineered to be resistant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide. This allows farmers to apply glyphosate to control weeds without harming the crops. The technology is commonly used in various crops, including soybeans, corn, and cotton, enabling more efficient weed management and higher yields. However, the use of Roundup Ready seeds has raised concerns about environmental impact and the development of herbicide-resistant weed species.
