Glyphosate is introduced and quickly becomes the most widely used herbicide in the U.S. and globally.
The strict U.S. regulatory process—requiring review by multiple agencies and hundreds of scientific experts—ensures that pesticides meet high health and environmental safety standards and are safe for use according to label specifications. Today, this process takes an average of 12+ years from concept to field.
From 1974 to 2015, leading health regulators around the world repeatedly confirm glyphosate’s safety through regular comprehensive assessments.
