Decline of Monarch butterflies have been linked in part due to glyphosate herbicides on corn and soybean crops, which have caused milkweed in the area of the crops to be killed off. Milkweed is the primary food source for Monarch caterpillars.
It is estimated that milkweed has been eliminated from 100 million hectares (247.1 million acres) of US cropland since the introduction of glyphosate-resistant crops.
