Agent Orange chemical in GM war on resistant weeds
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19585341
"A US pharmaceutical company is set to introduce a controversial new genetically modified corn to help farmers fight resistant weeds. Dow Agrosciences says its new GM product will use a chemical that was once a component of the Vietnam war defoliant, Agent Orange. It is needed they say because so called "superweeds" are now affecting up to 15 million acres of American crops. Dow argues the new approach is safe and sustainable." ?????
