Western corn rootworm larvae feed on root hairs and small roots. They have developed a resistance to Monsanto's biopesticide known as Bt

What will be the end of Monsanto? Could it be lawsuits, new legislation, or perhaps even a tiny insect that is less than 0.10 mm in length. A new report reveals that rootworms may ultimately be what ends Monsanto's crops, despite the biotech giant's rampant success within the United States legislative system. Amazingly, western corn rootworms have virtually no problem gobbling up Monsanto's modified maize crop, as they have developed a serious resistance to the very crops designed to kill them. So much so that these little critters are outpacing Monsanto's top scientists.

To make matters worse for the company, the resistant rootworms are maturing earlier than expected this year. And with the enhanced growth has come enhanced birth rates, with the bug's larvae hatching the earliest in decades. Monsanto, of course, is absolutely defenseless against the resistant rootworms which have adapted to their biopesticide known as Bt. At least 8 populations of insects have developed resistance, with 2 populations resistant to Bt sprays and at least 6 species resistant to Bt crops as a whole. The answer? Use even more intelligence-crushing pesticides.

Rootworms, Nature Overcome Monsanto's GMO Crops

It is for this reason that the EPA has warned in the past that Monsanto's crops will soon be ravaged by the insects. In their report on the subject, the EPA states:

"Monsanto's program for monitoring suspected cases of resistance is 'inadequate.'"

The statements have been reinforced by another group of concerned scientists. A body of 22 academic corn experts voiced serious concerns over GMO crop failures back in March, warning that a collapse of the GMO corn industry may soon follow - a particularly mighty prediction when considering that 94 percent of the US supply is currently of the genetically modified variety. It is also important to consider that much of the corn is not used for food, but for biodiesel purposes.

Will nature adapt to Monsanto's genetically modified creations and lead to their downfall in the end? Time and time again researchers and agricultural professionals have been calling upon Monsanto and the United States government to return to traditional and sustainable farming practices - even citing the fact that Monsanto's GMOs produce even less yield. Instead, the modified crops have overtaken much of the food supply. Now, in the face of collapse, the only answer provided by Monsanto is to drench crops in even more pesticides and modify their genetic coding to an even greater degree.

Monsanto is trying to match wits with nature. Not a chance.

Dude Monsanto wants to start using agent orange in lighter doses on crops again. This is not a lie.

The promise was already broken.

It's not nice to f*ck with Mama Nature.

Yeah, I think someone already posted a thread about that.
The bastards will stop at nothing.

Mother Nature got to the root of the problem and sent out it's army of worms! They love monsanto veggies now for they crave it. So technically they wouldn't touch non monsanto stuff since it doesn't have what they crave. Like brawndo is reverse!

Ha Score One Two Three strikes your out Monsanto!
Bill Gates will be done in by some bugs! Ha

Monsanto is a worse plague on crops than locusts. They aren't destroying crops by eating them but by making them inedible.

I'm sure Monsanto will counter this by chemtrailing Roundup !

I say we breed billions of brown recluse spiders and yellow jackets and set them lose in their offices.

This is encouraging. Nature will ultimately prevail, it's just a matter of to what extent the preceding damage will be.

...and cockroaches. Those things are indestructible.
