What\u2019s the word you use when an already-galloping horse speeds up? Because that\u2019s what\u2019s happening. Let\u2019s try this: \u201cMonsanto\u2019s \u2018Superweeds\u2019 Stampede Through Midwest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That pretty much describes the situation last year, according to a <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stratusresearch.com\/blog07.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">new report<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> [4]from the agribusiness research consultancy <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stratusresearch.com\/about.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Stratus<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> [5]. Since the 2010 growing season, the group has been polling \u201cthousands of US farmers\u201d across 31 states about herbicide resistance. Here\u2019s what they found in the 2012 season:<\/p>\n<p>Superweeds: First they gallop, then they roar. Graph: Stratus<br \/>\n\u2022 Nearly half (49 percent) of all US farmers surveyed said they have glyphosate-resistant weeds on their farm in 2012, up from 34 percent of farmers in 2011.<br \/>\n\u2022 Resistance is still worst in the South. For example, 92 percent of growers in Georgia said they have glyphosate-resistant weeds.<br \/>\n\u2022 But the mid-South and Midwest states are catching up. From 2011 to 2012 the acres with resistance almost doubled in Nebraska, Iowa, and Indiana.<br \/>\n\u2022 It\u2019s spreading at a faster pace each year: Total resistant acres increased by 25 percent in 2011 and 51 percent in 2012.<br \/>\n\u2022 And the problem is getting more complicated. More and more farms have at least two resistant species on their farm. In 2010 that was just 12 percent of farms, but two short years later 27 percent had more than one.<\/p>\n<p>So where do farmers go from here? Well, Monsanto and its peers would like them to try out \u201cnext generation\u201d herbicide-resistant seeds\u2014that is, crops engineered to resist not just Roundup, but also other, more toxic herbicides, like 2,4-D and Dicamba. Trouble is, such an escalation in the chemical war on weeds will likely only lead to more prolific, and more super, superweeds, along with a sharp increase in herbicide use. That\u2019s the message of a <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jstor.org\/discover\/10.1525\/bio.2012.62.1.12?uid=2&amp;uid=4&amp;sid=21101651905451\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">peer-reviewed 2011 paper<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> [6] by a team of Penn State University researchers led by David A. Mortensen. (I discussed their paper in a <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/tom-philpott\/2012\/01\/dows-new-gmo-seed-puts-us-agriculture-crossroads\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">post<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> [7] last year.)<\/p>\n<p>And such novel seeds won\u2019t be available in the 2013 growing season anyway. None have made it through the US Department of Agriculture\u2019s registration process. The USDA was widely expected to award final approval on Dow\u2019s 2,4-D\/Roundup-resistant corn during the Christmas break, but didn\u2019t. The agency hasn\u2019t stated the reason it hasn\u2019t decided on the product, known as Enlist, but the nondecision effectively delays its introduction until 2014 at the earliest, as Dow acknowledged last month. Reuters reporter Carey Gillam <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2013\/01\/18\/dow-biotech-idUSL1E9CIBN320130118\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">noted<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> [8] that the USDA\u2019 delay comes amid \u201copposition from farmers, consumers and public health officials\u201d to the new product, and that these opponents have \u201cbombarded Dow and US regulators with an array of concerns\u201d about it.<\/p>\n<p>So industrial-scale corn and soy farmers will likely have to muddle along, responding in the same way that they have been for years, which is by upping their herbicide use in hopes of controlling the rogue weeds, as Washington State University\u2019s Charles Benbrook showed in a recent <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.enveurope.com\/content\/24\/1\/24\/abstract\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">paper<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong> [9] (my post on it <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/tom-philpott\/2012\/10\/how-gmos-ramped-us-pesticide-use\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">here<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> [10]).

But once Palmer amaranth [a common glyphosate-tolerant weed] gets 6 ft. tall, you can\u2019t put on enough paraquat to kill it,\u201d [one weed-control expert] says.<\/p>\n<p>But of course there\u2019s another way.

So, despite what the seed giants and the conventional weed specialists insist, there are other ways to respond to the accelerating scourge of \u201csuperweeds\u201d than throwing more\u2014and
