Glyphosate widely used, but poses low hazard

Glyphosate's share of pounds applied, acute hazard, and chronic hazard from all herbicides

Estimates for corn, cotton, and rice are for 2021; 2023 for soybeans; and 2024 for spring and winter wheat. Acute and chronic hazard represent acute rat (oral) LD50 and chronic rat (oral, 24 month) NOEL values applied per acre, calculated using methods and data sources described in Kniss (2017).
