They still pose the same problem as all the other pesticides in that they can one, contaminate the water if misused and two, they accelerate natural selection if misused because they weed out all the pests less the strong and resistant ones. This causes the pesticides to be used in greater capacity and so on and so on.
- Houshalter 10y agoSource on contaminating the water? I've never heard of any issues with that. Resistance is bad, but if you are against herbicides at all what's the issue? We can invent new herbicides faster than they can evolve resistance, and they will still work on most species of plants.
