thifensulfuron

pyroxsulam
pinoxaden
dimethoate
chlorpyrifos
cypermethrin
deltamethrin
lambda-cyhalothrin
lannate
malathion
permethrin
GLYPHOSATE (Roundup)

Every single one is sprayed in-crop on non-GMO wheat. Wheat is naturally tolerant of every single one of those pesticides, with the exception of glyphosate. Yet it's still used...how? It's used as a pre-harvest dessicant, essentially killing and drying down the plant so that we can get in sooner with the combine.

So many of those chemicals I listed above are exponentially more harmful than Monsanto's glyposate, so why is the target on their back? Or here's a better question, why are you targeting GMO crops, when every single pesticide I listed gets sprayed on non-GMO?
exponentially??? please elaborate
