Someone forgot pigweed is already Immune to round up as it absorbed the genes for it. This.will just cause more environmental mayhem but expect the green crowd to do nothing

If this becomes commonplace or escapes into the wild this will create insane weeds that will destroy everything. Also given a long enough time period this will strip even more carbon out of the atmosphere locking in up in plants. Expect a brutal ice-age as the very limited carbon in the atmosphere is stripped. Before you go all Glowbull Warming on me know that all the global warming data has been faked for political reasons. Take the time to understand what this means. Imagine if this was hacked into a tree like Redwoods or American Chestnut or Walnut or something like that....

Evolution takes the path of least resistance and what works best. There's a reason that plants are that way. We might not see it now just like we couldn't figure out for the longest time why sunflowers grow their seeds in the pattern they do... but that reason is there.

In this case, plants that grow too fast would quickly deplete the soil and they would all die off. We could intervene with re-invigorating the soil in between crops with fertilizers and nitrogen to off-set that issue.
Besides, it's going to the apefricans first, so if there's an issue they'll bear the brunt of it.

the soil is already depleted. i did not know it but i had mineral deficiency. and that can kill.

What could go wrong? We'll find out 30 years from now.
