The biggest disadvantage is the potential for creating herbicide-resistant weeds. This is happening right now in the US. Some parts of the country, particularly in the south, have now identified at least 15 separate weed species which are resistant to the herbicide glyphosate (one brand name is Roundup).

Roundup Ready seeds are genetically modified seeds developed by Monsanto (now part of Bayer) that are engineered to be resistant to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide. This allows farmers to apply glyphosate to control weeds without harming the crops. The technology is commonly used in various crops, including soybeans, corn, and cotton, enabling more efficient weed management and higher yields. However, the use of Roundup Ready seeds has raised concerns about environmental impact and the development of herbicide-resistant weed species.
