Glyphosate is the herbicide that is used to kill weeds in fields that have Monsanto's GM plants (which are immune to the herbicide due to the added gene they carry.
Europe may ban it.
Here is a nice article about the many issues associated with that:

I heard a long story on Public Raido.  Europe says it's implicated in non hodkin"s lymphoma.  Rather disturbing.
