Depends on your definition of nit harmful. I plant round up tolerant beans and have done maize too. Never seen any crop damage on a whole field but have been rained off half way thru a field and couldn’t get back there for a week or so. In the beans that are tolerant you could see a six inch height difference. Would not have believed it with out seeing it. Also have done a part field pre seed burn down and emergence was four days later on sprayed area. we’ve all heard the talk of round up being harmless but also read of the legal cases concerning cancers from exposure to it.
personally I can see it being banned slowly around the world but Monsanto will come to our rescue with the new version that’s so so safe your mother in law could drink it but it’s twice the price and patented until the end of time.
