Glyphosate is a an herbicide, not a pesticide.
- dragonwriter 8y agoHerbicides are a subset of pesticides by the technical definition, though “pesticide” is often used to mean something closer to (but sightly broader than) “insecticide” in popular use.
- beenBoutIT 8y agoI keep forgetting this fact. In light of this, the idea that commercial produce could ever be "pesticide-free" is unlikely. Avoiding the use of pesticides altogether is going to be extremely expensive and/or extremely inefficient .
