You're correct. With GMOs, Glyphosate can be sprayed over the whole field instead of spot spraying weeds. This is why a farm that grew GMO corn and/or soybean must sit idle for a minimum of 3 years before attempting to grow non-GMO crops. This is a big problem out here because of low precipitation & slow draining (clay) soil.
