Hey Alex,

There is quite a bit online about Roundup and Monsanto.   Monsanto was forced 
to remove its biodegradable label from Roundup in both, the U.S. and in 
France, based on the persistence of that chemical in the soil.  When it comes 
down to it, who are you going to believe, the scientists or Monsanto?

Here is a website which discusses the persistence of roundup.

Why do american farmers believe that roundup is biodegradable when it clearly 
is not?
