What is Technical Performance of Some Commercial Glyphosate‐resistant Crops about?

## Abstract Glyphosate‐resistant (GR) crops have been sold commercially in the USA since 1996. The use of glyphosate alone or with conventional pre‐ and post‐emergence herbicides with different modes of action gives growers many options for affordable, safe, easy, effective wide‐spectrum weed control. Despite the overwhelming popularity of this technology, technical issues have surfaced from time to time as US growers adopt these crops for use on their farms. The types of concern raised by growers vary from year to year depending on the crop and the environment, but include perceptions of increased sensitivity to diseases, increased fruit abortion, reduced pollination efficiency, increased sensitivity to environmental stress, and differences in yield and agronomic characteristics between transgenic and sister conventional varieties. Although several glyphosate‐resistant crops are commercially available, maize, soybean and cotton constitute the largest cultivated acreage and have likewise been associated with the highest number of technical concerns. Because glyphosate is rapidly translocated to and accumulates in metabolic sink tissues, reproductive tissues and roots are particular
