Uh, what? So many unwanted plants are now Round-Up (Glysophate) resistant that DOW and Monsanto have developed GMO lines that are Agent Orange (2,4-D) resistant. And the USDA/EPA have approved their use. https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/registration-enlist-one-and-enlist-duo

@ellestad@sfba.social Not saying this is a good idea! But the 2,4-d Wikipedia page says that compound isn’t Agent Orange, rather it’s one of that notorious preparation’s components. Not only that, the page says AO’s harms to humans are attributable to contaminants in the manufacture of a different AO component.
