Roundup ready is a term to describe a genetically modified crop. It is mainly referred to soybeans, named "roundup ready soybeans". These are unquestionably a wary food source on terms of safety, despite the fact that it is resistant to glyphosphate.
Roundup is the name of a herbicide used by farmers to kill weeds. A plant is said to be roundup ready if it is resistant to roundup, so that you can spray a field with roundup and it will kill the weeds but won't kill the roundup ready crop.

The main advantage is the ability to spray for weeds with roundup and not damage the crop. Roundup is a non-selective herbicide that controls both grassy weeds and broad leaf weeds. Roundup ready crops are unaffected by roundup so all weeds can be killed while the crop is undamaged. Basically, a farmer can control all weeds with one herbicide and not have to worry about a loss of the crop.
Roundup Weed and Grass killer contains glyphosate (2% in its Ready To Use form) It also contains a soap like surfactant that helps it to adhere to the weeds better.

Nearly all Garst brand or Syngenta group beans are r/r, and of course, the same applies to Monsanto's seeds, as the owner of the Roundup patent and the roundup-ready patent. The r/r patent expires in 2014, after which farmers will still be able to find r/r seeds, or seeds that tolerate its generic glyphosate equivalent. Monsanto also claims that they will not sue farmers who keep r/r seeds from their own crop to replant after the patent expires.
