The battle over the world's biggest weedkiller

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Glyphosate is in the world's most commonly used weedkiller - available in garden centers all over the world. A jury in California said its maker, Monsanto, should have warned users about the danger glyphosate poses, after lawyers and expert witnesses persuaded them that the glyphosate in a Monsanto herbicide caused a man's cancer. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Lucy Burton challenges both Monsanto, and a lawyer who disagrees with the agro-chemical giant. (Image: Bottles of Monsanto's Roundup on sale. Credit: Robyn Beck / AFP / Getty Images)
