French research investigates crop production without glyphosate weedkillers

No-till is considered among the most environmentally sound methods, improving biodiversity, soil fertility, and carbon sequestration, but would probably be abandoned without access to glyphosate.

French research indicates no-till methods would not be economically feasible without glypgosate weedkillers.

The French government’s agricultural research institute has found that banning glyphosate will significantly increase production costs for French farmers practicing no-till and conservation agriculture.
