1. Chlorosis can be caused by a ph change in the soil, fro acid to alkali.
2. All aromatic organic chemicals and all organo-phospates are carcinogenic.

"The company is also seeking to extend its reach into milk production by marketing an artificial growth hormone for cows that increases their output, and it is taking aggressive steps to put those who don’t want to use growth hormone at a commercial disadvantage". (See link in Don's post)

Hormone injected cows are susceptible to mastitis -- inflammation of the udder. Since a cow with mastitis produces milk with pus in it, something which is not acceptable to dairies (dairies check milk for high somatic cell count i.e. high proportion of pus), farmers give antibiotics to treat the ailing cows.

rBGH hormone for milk production

* Antibiotics given to cows to treat mastitis results in antibiotic residues in milk. Apart from causing health problems in those who drink this, it can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance amongst bacteria present in the person's body.

* Scientific studies link rBGH to cancer citing the fact that the presence of rBGH in the cow's blood stimulates production of another hormone (Insulin-Like Growth Facto) in the cow and traces of it are found in its milk. Since this hormone is also active within humans, it can lead to uncontrolled cell division or cancer. Source

I said as I handed a 256 Megabyte data transfer thumb drive to a world published Russian plasma physicist. His boss was a Korporate Afmurikastani dickhead and only through the network of technicians I was afforded the opportunity to buy said "unsecure" data transfer device to make this man's work easier. That said American corperate assholes who have for years decimated this man's green technological innovations had the fucking audacity to escort him out of the building for exposing their fucked up financial planning spanning eight full years of his brilliant technological invention.

my pea patch has continued to grow and will probably make a crop, albeit with substantially reduced yields.

I can't say definitively that glyphosate (better known as Roundup) caused the chlorosis.

I did spray glyphosate on the field before planting to kill Johnson grass. The roundup killed the Johnson grass above ground, but the stuff came back from the roots and seed in the ground and is thriving.

The bulk of Monsanto's current cash cow is built around Roundup ready technology. We haven't been using this technology for long, but an overwhelming percentage of critical grain crops are now genetically modified, Roundup ready, owned by Monsanto and under patent protection. It's highly possible that there are problems associated with GM food and the chances that the people that sell it to us and get fabulously rich doing so are going to police themselves are next to none.

This is not the first time I've seen yellowing of peas possibly related to the use of Roundup. Previously I used Roundup around the borders of a garden patch and noticed the plants near the path turned yellow, while those farther away from the path were healthy.

Roundup works fabulously well. So does cocaine.

I did inhale.

here.

Remember, virtually all corn and a lot of the other grains you eat here in the US is indundated with this stuff.

I did inhale.

...the purported half life of Roundup is greater than the half life of generic glyphosate, because of the additional "inert" ingredients used in the formula. Claim is that 30 days +/- the compound is essentially broken down. Reality is that the compound's half life can be up to 135 days, and if used in conjunction with an insecticide, even longer. European studies suggest that glyphosate could inhibit absorption of trace metals, specifically iron, zinc and magnesium.

(gut still held that it was not fungal in nature.)
