Know why I’m interested in weed control technology? Because I 100% believe that we are going to lose far more herbicides than we will gain going forward. Because I believe that reducing our overall herbicide use will allow us to preserve many remaining options…
Soooo who has cleavers that they hate and would like to tear out of their field when mature and ship my way for some research?? More specific details can be given if interested! Looking for populations across AB, SK and MB. Any takers?? #WestCdnAg
🧵: Of the arguments put forward for turning down a jab, the most difficult to challenge is ‘there isn’t any long term safety data’. It’s used by anti-vaxxers, but also strikes me as a valid concern for vaccine hesitant people caught up in the Covid-19 info grinder.

Disinformation is qualitatively different than misinformation. Disinformation is defined in the literature as “a product of a carefully planned and technically sophisticated deceit process,” (Fallis 2009).
The main difference between mis- and disinformation is INTENT.
Lots of "natural" things are harmful and lots of synthetic things perfectly fine. It would be VERY CONVENIENT if we could just say "natural good, artificial bad" but that's not how it works. You want to say something is bad because "chemicals," you're gonna have to get specific.
Companies are investing in precision, vision-guided (see and spray) technology to control weeds while reducing herbicide inputs/ improving crop safety.
Do you want to learn more about their efficacy and utility?
