Mikec, I replied on the other thread by accident. Your wiki reference is specifically to the inhibition of that enzyme. Look into GMO crops, and it will shed a more specific light on how they work. What I was initially implying was that chemicals of concentration clog stomates and damage plant tissue. Plain and simple. You can argue that fact all day but it doesn't change the fact that I have done it personally. I was not referring to how roundup kills weeds. Ever heard of roundup ready corn? It's used today primarily for fuel sources as well as livestock feed, unfortunately. It was taken off the market for human consumption years ago. Frost resistant soy beans? There are tons of GMO crops. It is a fact roundup kills bugs without killing plants in this situation.

hmmm.. maybe you could provide, at least, the OCCASIONAL link or scientific source for all this 'stuff' you are 'saying', so the layman reading can verify some of your assertions?

Ok I'll work on it. Things about plants and plant pathology, GMO's etc I learned in school, and I guess I'm old fashioned but I use books. So here is my source: California Master Gardener Handbook, University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources(ANR) Dennis R.Pittenger, Editor, publication 3382. Quite honestly I do not rely on the internet for my knowledge, I read books, took classes, work in the field here in redding with the USDA doing seasonal work as an insect trapper, own my own nursery, work in a tissue culture lab, am organically certified by the County of Shasta to sell vegetable stock. So any questions about any of those areas I speak from day to day events, like GMO's. I'm currently attempting to sequence the rosemary genome, so I can splice it into cannabis for a pest barrier.

In my opinion, it's not ALL due to CFC's. There are other factors out there like the carbon footprint for one. Besides, we know what they let us know, the rest is for us to find out. That's why we are here right? Does anybody think everything that goes public in an article the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?? I don't.

Also, what scientists said that? Names and background? My bell peppers this year had super sun damage. On one side, the afternoon side. Sure I can provide pics of sun scorch if requested.
 
Arborist here 30 plus years planting and caring for urban forest populations of over 100.000 and planting up to 4000 PA.

Over that time I've seen many tree growth pressures and environmental influences ranging from drought, pollution, pests, pathogens, unprecedented heat wave & urban impacts vandals and construction. But i not ever observed any tree harm arise from Aluminum or declining planet climate temperatures.

You seem to be confused about what Roundup is. It's a weedkiller (herbicide) not a "bug killer". Roundup-ready plants are resistant to it, so you can spray the field and the weeds are killed but the crop isn't.

One of the reasons Roundup is such a useful weedkiller is that it is specific to plants. It doesn't harm mammals etc. Obviously you shouldn't drink it, but it's pretty non-toxic stuff as garden chemicals go.

Are you trying to establish yourself as an authority with the above? Because frankly, your posts have been all over the place, with a lot of information that's half-right, false, or bizarrely irrelevant. And you have a real habit of saying, "I'll post a paper about it," and then failing to do so. If you're claiming the CA Master Gardener Handbook as your source, please give a page number and quote where it says any of the following:

-A single species known as "the rust mite" is a significant pest on everything from cannabis to oak trees across the US.
-RoundUp (glyphosate) is used to kill bugs.
-SRM "helps the ozone repair itself."

I fixed the link to the ozone paper, BTW.

I'm ok with books. page numbers, photos of the quote, scanning etc.

the California Master Gardener Handbook has all this info on GMo's and chemtrails you are talking about too?

but the 'soil' chapter is online. if that helps you find links and quotes. http://books.google.com/books?id=Wh...q=California Master Gardener Handbook&f=false
 
Igrokush1, over in a different thread, you posted this:

mikec, what I'm saying is that ANY chemical of concentration will fry foliage, to put it simply. Any yes, in fact, roundup kills bugs without killing plants. It's called roundup ready crops. They are GMO's. A very common term in the horticultural community. They involve the coding of genes, and with the proper sequence, another gene from a completely different species is spliced in using a 'gene gun' which uses gold coated pellets to permeate the cell wall in order to get the gene in. I'm sure you have heard of Monsanto, he's not a fictional name. Watch videos of his productions, and they may more clearly explain how roundup kills bugs without killing plants.
Click to expand...
Most people here have heard of Monsanto (which is a company name, not a "he") and many of us know a bit about GMOs. And anyone with even a passing familiarity with the topic can see your error here.

As has been repeatedly explained to you, RoundUp (glyphosate) is an herbicide. It's used to kill plants, not bugs - and it's very broad-spectrum, capable of injuring most types of plants if it contacts absorptive tissue. "Round-Up Ready" crops are genetically-modified versions of plants such as corn or soybeans that are tolerant of glyphosate, so that the herbicide can be sprayed over them to kill the weeds on the field (but not the crops). It's not used as an insecticide (bug-killer). There is the possibility of selecting for herbicide resistance in the target weed populations (see here for example), but insect pest resistance is not an issue there.

There are other GMOs which do target insect pests. A common example would be "Bt corn," maize plants which have genes inserted that allow them to produce a protein normally produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which is toxic to many species of Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths, including maize pests such as the European corn borer or western corn rootworm), but is non-toxic to most other animals. This is intended to reduce the need for conventional insecticides, although there is the potential for resistance to the Bt toxin to develop in the insect populations (lots of literature on this - see here for example).

GMOs are a thing. Round-up Ready crops are examples of them. Other GMOs target insects. They aren't the same thing.

In the US. Here in the UK, GMOs are banned from being grown. They are not banned outright from use in food, but most retailers have their own voluntary bans.

The link I provided for was for the enzyme glyphosate acts on which is present in plants but is not present in "bugs". That is why it does not kill bugs and has nothing to do with GM crops outside of some are resistant to glyphosate but they still have the enzyme.

However I would like to address your point on aluminium toxicity. You are claiming that it is particles of aluminium that are causing tree damage, not through the roots but through the leaves. Your claim is that they block stomata and cause leaf damage. Now I agree that air pollution the form of dust can block stomata and cause a number of growth problems, especially chemically active dusts like cement (Taken from "Farmer, A. Managing Environmental Pollution (1997) London: Routledge) and this would not be species specific, it would be on all plants. However for that to occur the dust needs to coat the leaf and is visible and even then plants, especially trees, are resilient to particle pollution. As you will be aware trees are planted in urban areas with poor air quality as they have an amazing ability to remove a great deal of the PM2.5 and PM10 particles in the air. (I apologise for the internet reference as I don't have a text to hand).

External Quote:
The removal of PM2.5 by urban trees is substantially lower than for larger particulate matter (particulate matter less than 10 microns -- PM10), but the health implications and values are much higher. The total amount of PM2.5 removed annually by trees varied from 4.7 metric tons in Syracuse to 64.5 metric tons in Atlanta, with annual values varying from $1.1 million in Syracuse to $60.1 million in New York City
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/06/130619164708.htm

So can I ask. If it is specificially aluminium particles that are causing issues where is it? Is there a dust formed on the leaves of all the plants everyday? At the end of the day I am not sold by your claim.
 
Exactly: where is all this aluminium? If airborne aluminium was present at levels that would harm plants, it would be setting off alarms at every air quality monitoring station in the land. That just isn't happening. As I have previously linked here, aluminium levels even in the heavily air-trafficked southeast of England are measured in nanograms per cubic metre. (1 nanogram is about the mass of a single human cell). And what aluminium there is is easily explained by windblown soil and rock dust.

that's nonsense. There are many chemicals that do nothing to crops - most of those in soil and air for starters......

in fact, roundup kills bugs without killing plants. It's called roundup ready crops.

Except roundup is a herbicide - not an insecticide....it kills weeds!!

completely not sure why this is at all relevant tho.

no, it's labeled as roundup ready, and it's near the end of article regarding fusarium to save a looong read. Hence my point, roundup has other killing purposes, I posted it in detail earlier but may have been deleted:(

Here is what it says:

External Quote:
The OCA also claims that Monsanto's Roundup herbicide has been found to aid the spread of fusarium head blight in wheat. Wheat infected with fusarium head blight is unsafe for human or animal consumption.
Far from killing fusarium, it has been claimed that Roundup encourages the growth of fusarium!

And this belongs in the "Plant effects" thread, not here.

Wow, you have several mistakes in that comment.

First, GMO corn is acceptable for humans. You are most likely confused by the problems with Starlink corn. It was Never approved for human consumption. It accidentally got into some products. There were folks that 'Claimed' that it made them sick. None of those claims were ever proven.

http://ccr.ucdavis.edu/biot/new/StarLinkCorn_new.html

Your 'tons of GMO crops', in numbers,yes, but at this time there are only 9 approved crops in the US. Dent corn, sweet corn (new the last 2-3 years), soybeans (no frost resistant ones), canola, papaya, some green and yellow squash (not heavily planted), sugarbeets, alfalfa and cotton.

The traits in these are of 3 types, Round up ready, BT, and resistance to ring spot virus and close relative in squash. The last 2 are in squash and papayas. Some of the others may be either single trait, like RR ready soy, or stacked like RR ready and BT in corn.

Round up does not kill bugs, unless they fall in it and drown. It kills most broadleaf and grassy and some woody plants. It does not have any effect on insects.
