Farmers across the UK have joined efforts in showing politicians and the public why glyphosate is so critical to agriculture.
A petition has been started to help stop the removal of glyphosate as a result of "anti farming groups spreading false science and misinformation" to the wider non-farming public.
The petition, with 1,607 (as of 4pm GMT 27 February), says it wants to "stand up for UK agriculture and save glyphosate from being banned by false knowledge and ignorance."
Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used herbicide, and also is amongst the most thoroughly tested herbicides on the market.
The owner of the petition, Lincolnshire-based agronomist Sean Sparling, said: "Without glyphosate to control otherwise uncontrollable weeds BEFORE the crop is even put into the ground, whole areas of the east of England will become over run by weeds.
"We have no other way of controlling - weeds like Blackgrass, a resistant and hugely competitive weed species that is unaffected by pests, diseases and almost all other herbicides, which chokes and suppresses any crop it grows in."
Mr Sparling ended the petition saying: "Dont let ignorance destroy our industry."
On social media, the hashtag #glyphosateisvital has been trending on Twitter as farmers and those in the agricultural business sent messages to the wide-public about the benefits of keeping glyphosate legal.
