Off-target herbicide drift (IMAGE)
Caption
In recent years, off-target herbicide drift has been increasingly reported to lead to damage to nontarget vegetation in the U.S. These reports have coincided with the widespread adoption of genetically modified crops with new herbicide tolerance traits. Planting crops with these traits may indirectly lead to increased drift both by increasing the use of the corresponding herbicides and by facilitating their use as postemergence herbicides later in the season.
