For 17 years, soil microbiologist Robert Kremer studied what happens in the soil when we plant GMO crops. His findings contradict conventional assumptions about modern agriculture's impact on the invisible world beneath our feet.
Kremer, a USDA scientist with 32 years of experience, discovered that GMO soybeans and corn consistently harbored 2-10 times more pathogenic Fusarium fungi on their roots than non-GMO crops.
Living GMO plants actively release glyphosate through their roots. Kremer's team detected over 1,000 nanograms per plant seeping into the soil over just 16 days, fundamentally altering the underground ecosystem.
This herbicide doesn't just kill weeds—it's superfood for pathogenic fungi. Fusarium species can use glyphosate as both a carbon and phosphorus source, giving them a competitive advantage over beneficial microorganisms that protect plant health.
Even untreated GMO plants showed altered behavior, releasing more sugars and amino acids through their roots than conventional varieties. This suggests genetic modification itself changes how plants interact with soil life before any herbicide is applied.
The population of fluorescent pseudomonads—bacteria that normally suppress fungi—plummeted in GMO fields. Meanwhile, manganese-oxidizing bacteria proliferated, locking away essential nutrients despite adequate soil reserves.
Glyphosate chelates manganese, iron, and zinc, making them unavailable to plants. This weakens plant immune systems precisely when pathogen pressure increases—a perfect storm for crop vulnerability.
Fields under intensive GMO production saw soil organic matter drop from 3% to 1%, representing fundamental degradation affecting water retention, nutrient cycling, and microbial diversity.
GMO soybeans showed reduced nodulation and nitrogen fixation even without glyphosate treatment. The genetic modifications meant to improve crops were disrupting ancient plant-microbe partnerships essential for sustainable agriculture.
Kremer pioneered polyphasic analysis using multiple techniques to assess microbial communities. While simple diversity counts often showed minimal changes, examining specific functional groups revealed dramatic shifts in soil ecology that standard methods missed.
His findings have been validated globally. Researchers in Brazil, Argentina, and Europe report similar patterns: increased pathogens, decreased beneficial microbes, altered soil chemistry. The signature is consistent across continents and crop types.
Recent metagenomic studies using advanced DNA sequencing confirm Kremer's work. Genes related to nitrogen cycling and plant growth promotion are consistently suppressed in GMO systems.
Kremer's works suggests we need to reconsider how we evaluate agricultural technologies—not just by yields, but by their impact on the foundation of all terrestrial life.

Glyphosate therefore presents as a substance that needs to be eliminated from the food chain as soon as possible however additionally, it needs to be removed from the tissues of the consumer, us.
How is this to be achieved ?
By very careful promotion of intestinal flora, optimizing elimination pathways and tonifying organs of excretion prior to gradual removal of glyphosate using homeopathic remedies.
This is not a quick detox.
It needs caution, observations, communication, supplementation and a willingness to persevere.
