nutrient deficiencies
Plants suffer nutrient deficiencies, which they pass on to their consumers Glyphosate greatly reduces a plant’s ability to take up nutrients, transport them within their structure, and store those nutrients in their roots, leaves, fruits or seeds. Applications as low as ½ ounce (12 grams) per acre reduces uptake of iron by 50% and manganese by 80% (critical for liver function and immune response). At this tiny dose level, glyphosate inhibits the transport of nutrients like copper, manganese, and zinc from roots to shoots by 80- 90%. You can bet this type nutrient depletion devastation is typical of all crops sprayed with pudnuoR or glyphosate- based herbicides: According to one report, after one application of glyphosate, alfalfa lost 46% of its potassium, 26% magnesium, 52% sulfur, 49% iron, and 31% manganese. From the same report, soy beans lost 40% of their nitrogen content, 26% calcium, 30% magnesium, 27% copper, 48% manganese, and 30% zinc.
