Wednesday, 6th April, 2005Monsanto response to "The Impact of Insecticides and Herbicides on the Biodiversity and Productivity of Aquatic Communities, Ecological Applications" by Relyea (2005)
The paper in question reports the results of a study conducted to determine effects of an unspecified Roundup(r) brand herbicide formulation* (as well as 2, 4-D, carbaryl, and malathion) on an aquatic community containing algae and twenty-five species of aquatic animals including six species of amphibians.Monsanto has compiled a response which provides a series of comments which support the conclusion that the study and its results do not represent realistic use conditions for Roundup Brand products.
