Critiques of Hayes' research on the herbicide atrazine have shown up in recent months in the Center for Global Food Issues [PDF] , a project of the conservative Hudson Institute, Hoosier Ag Today , and debunkosaurus . http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/hip-hop-uc-professor-battles-chemical-company-6198

Strategien, die Syngenta erwog, um einen kritischen Forscher einer kalifornischen Universität ruhig zu stellen | Bird decline, insect decline and neonicotinoids

http://www.farmlandbirds.net/en/content/strategien-die-syngenta-erwog-um-einen-kritischen-forscher-einer-kalifornischen-universit%C3%A4t- Im Rahmen eines Gerichtsverfahrens, bei dem es um die Säuberung atrazin-belasteter Gewässer in den USA ging, musste Syngenta vor einigen Jahren Einblick in Akten und Korrespondenz gewähren. Vor kurzem wurden sie nun auch der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Eine Journalistin des 100Reporters-Netzwerks hat sie ausgewertet. Ihr Fazit: der Konzern habe eine „aggressive Multi-Millionen-Dollar-Kampagne“ gestartet, um Kläger zu entmutigen und negative Berichterstattung über seine Agrochemikalien zu vermeiden.

Pest Control: Syngenta’s Secret Campaign to Discredit Atrazine’s Critics | 100 Reporters

https://100r.org/2013/06/pest-control-syngentas-secret-campaign-to-discredit-atrazines-critics/ By Clare Howard 100Reporters and Environmental Health News To protect profits threatened by a lawsuit over its controversial herbicide atrazine, Syngenta Crop Protection launched an aggressive multi-million dollar campaign that included hiring a detective agency to investigate scientists on a federal advisory panel, looking into the personal life of a judge and commissioning a psychological profile of a leading scientist critical of atrazine. The Switzerland-based pesticide manufacturer also routinely paid “third-party allies” to appear to be independent supporters, and kept a list of 130 people and groups it could recruit as experts without disclosing ties to the company.
