- overcast 8y agoIt's a plant killer, you're not going to spray it on crops, you spray it on plants you don't want to grow around your crops.
- freehunter 8y agoSeems like you could spray it on Roundup Ready plants, since the point of Roundup Ready plants is to not die from being sprayed with Roundup.
- gregcrv 8y agoIt's actually sprayed on food before harvesting. It's called crop desiccation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_desiccation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_desiccation
- overcast 8y agoHrmm, never heard of that. It goes the complete opposite way of the Roundup Ready crops.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoWell, that technique won't work on Roundup Ready crops. But it's used on things like wheat that are supposed to be dried out when harvested.
- CodeWriter23 8y agoDesiccation is done to increase yield. Stressed / dying plants produce more seed.
- sampo 8y agoWith corn and cereal, you actually want to weaken or kill the plants some days before you harvest, so they start to dry, especially if the weather has been wet. You get a drier harvest with less chance of spoilage in storage.
