This blog is dedicated to informing people on the effects of Herbicides on our Eco-systems.  Every decade mankind seems to unknowingly destroy it's environment.When creating a simple herbicide for weeds such as velvet-leaf. We failed to think of how this effects the Eco-system. Atrazine is a chemical commonly used on farms to protect corn, and sugar cane crops from weeds. But Atrazine also causes a negative impact on amphibians sexual development. While following this blog I hope you will learn to connect the causes and effects that occur in our Eco-Systems.
