I am speaking specifically about this one product, Roundup Ready canola, and here is what Monstano has to say about their product themselves:

Quote:
Genuity offers the Roundup Ready trait in both spring and winter canola. In the past, canola farmers have had limited options when it comes to weed control. Since weeds compete with the crop for nutrients, these weeds can impact yield. That’s why farmers now see this trait as a tool to manage weeds and increase yield, which creates a win-win on their farm.
Translation: You didn't used to be able to use a lot of herbicides on canola, but now you can.
