(Beyond Pesticides, May 13, 2016)<\/em> \u00a0Raising questions about Roundup’s (glyphosate) effects on soil health, a study published last month shows that the chemical \u00a0is toxic to soil fungus at doses well below levels which are recommended for agricultural use. The commercial formulation of Roundup is \u00a0more toxic than technical active ingredient, \u00a0glyphosate<\/a>, highlighting the need to evaluate \u00a0full formulation \u00a0effects, including \u00a0so-called inert ingredients<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"roundup\"The study, published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research<\/em><\/a>, looked at Roundup\u2019s effects on \u00a0a soil fungus, Aspergillus nidulans<\/em>. Researchers found that a dilution of Roundup at a rate 100 times less than that \u00a0allowed in agricultural production corresponded with 50% mortality of the fungus. A dose only 50 times lower than the recommended application rate for agricultural uses resulted in 100% mortality of the fungus. Even at the median lethal dose (LD50) and lower concentrations, researchers saw impaired growth, cellular polarity, endocytosis and mitochondria (impaired average number, volume and metabolism).<\/p>\n

The study also found that Roundup has an effect on the soil fungus\u2019 ability to break down nutrients for energy use. Rather than depleting mitochondrial activity, as found in animal cell studies, researchers found a stimulation of mitochondrial activity in the fungal cells, indicating a different mode of action. Researchers found that energy metabolism and respiratory disturbances were detected at the NOAEL (no-observed-adverse-effect-level) dose, showing that cellular level impacts could occur even with no outward impacts to growth or yield.<\/p>\n

Glyphosate, the most widely used agricultural chemical in the world<\/a>, has gained a nasty reputation for its effects on humans and wildlife, including soil biota. Beyond glyphosate\u2019s recent classification as a carcinogen<\/a> based on animal laboratory and epidemiologic studies by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization, the chemical has been shown to harm earthworm populations<\/a>, cause sub lethal damage to bees<\/a>, drift and eliminate crucial habitat for monarch butterflies<\/a>, and cause shape changes in amphibians<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Soil fungus, which is part of a wide range of soil biota, is \u00a0essential to ecosystem functioning<\/a>. Constant application of pesticides, such as glyphosate, in chemical-intensive \u00a0agriculture can reduce soil diversity and therefore reduce soil functionality. Soil biota \u00a0breaks down organic matter, enables chemical elements to be reused, and fixes \u00a0nitrogen, which is necessary for nutrient in \u00a0the ecosystem. A study published in February 2016<\/a> reveals \u00a0that a decrease in soil biota impacts the services that healthy soil provides. The study finds that soil microbial diversity \u00a0positively relates to multi-functionality in terrestrial ecosystems. Simply put, when soil diversity is high, the soil can function more efficiently and provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Any loss in microbial diversity will likely reduce multi-functionality, negatively affecting \u00a0the services provided by soil, such as climate regulation through atmospheric carbon sequestration, fertility, and productivity. A \u00a0further decline in soil biodiversity has adverse economic \u00a0impacts as well. The European Academies\u2019 Science Advisory Council (EASAC) estimates soil organisms and their role in agricultural productivity to be worth $25 billion<\/a> a year, globally.<\/p>\n

One way to protect soil biota, other wildlife, biodiversity, and the ecosystem as a whole from the harmful effects of pesticides is to support organic agriculture over conventional, chemical-intensive farming. Beyond Pesticides supports organic agriculture<\/a> as effecting good land stewardship. The pesticide reform movement, citing pesticide problems associated with chemical agriculture, from groundwater contamination and runoff to drift, views organic as the solution to this serious environmental threat. It is impossible to discuss the ecological benefits of organic agriculture without discussing the devastating effects of conventional agriculture.<\/p>\n

Conventional. or chemical-intensive, agriculture relies on toxic pesticides that contaminate air, water, soil, and living things, such as the soil fungus and other wildlife mentioned in the studies cited above; organic agriculture does not allow the use of toxic pesticides. Chemical-intensive \u00a0agriculture relies on synthetic chemical fertilizers that reduce soil organic matter and contaminate waterways; organic agriculture does not permit the use of synthetic \u00a0fertilizers and relies instead on nutrient sources that tend to be less soluble and more stable in the soil, because of the expectation that healthy soil will produce microbes that \u00a0can make the nutrients naturally available over a longer period of time.<\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18074"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18074\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18078,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18074\/revisions\/18078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
