America and case of canola in western canada (quantitative genetics process): discovery and expanded use of inorganic fertilizer, following discovery of the haber- Pesticides: pesticides used to protect plants from weeds, fungi or insects, herbicides used to control unwanted plants, insecticides used to kill insects, fungicides chemical compound or biological organism used to kill fungi. In canada, especially used in canola and pulses ( eld pea, lentils, chickpeas). Case of herbicides and genetically modi ed crops in north america: 1. review of weed control technologies leading to the dominance of glyphosate: gm crops herbicide resistant and insect resistant crops. 3. review of the evidence of the impacts of gm crops. !1: in canada we are using a combination of cultivation (erosion, more energy used, lose land for a period of time), crop rotation and herbicides. Tuesday, october 18, 2016: trade off, who bares the cost? (herbicide use vs. cultivation amount). More reliant on single sellers of this chemical.
