a broad-spectrum, systemic herbicide used to kill actively growing weeds. Crops genetically engineered for glyphosate-resistance (Roundup Ready) have helped to increase the use of more sustainable no-till agricultural practices. Monsanto’s US patent on the glyphosate expired in 2000. Trade names for glyphosate-containing herbicides include Roundup, Buccaneer, Razor Pro, Genesis Extra, Rodeo, Aquaneat, and Aquamaster.
