Syngenta just funded a study on the best way to spray glyphosate

Agrochemical giant Syngenta funded a peer-reviewed paper published Friday that suggests glyphosate, an herbicide at the center of a worldwide public health controversy, would be better at killing weeds if it was sprayed on the plants at certain times of day. As of this July, 18,400 people in the US have joined multiple lawsuits claiming glyphosate led them to contract cancer. Syngenta, owned by Beijing-based ChemChina, has a vested interest in the chemical’s continued use and performance.
