    Lucky they raised the allowable level of glyphosphate in foodstuffs a few years back isn't it.
    Great that you can spray the shit out of these genetically modified plants to kill the weeds and not the crop,saves a lot of interrow cultivation etc.
    We should see them in NZ soon once the TPPA agreement is signed.
    All our spuds are sprayed out with roundup, better than the paraquat they used to use I spose
    Roundup ready canola , yum,makes that margarine even tastier!

    Absolutely. You don't have to fear it but you must respect it.

    Just like one should do with water.

    Oh, and here's a link that's probably worth reading before we have a discussion about what "proper" scientific literature involves.

    Notice it makes mention of intestinal irritation in rats at three months, but does not appear to have any tests longer than that.

    Yup, I have a foot in each camp.
    It kills things, not good. I do not want to eat it as a permanent ingredient of my nachos or weetbix. I wonder how many of the products in the supermarket contain ingredients which have had high glyphostae exposure?

    I do use it to kill things. Other, nastier, weed killers, too. We have lots of toxic weeds & some are relentless & seemingly indestructible. As directed, not in a numpty like fashion.

    Two questions, sorry OP.

    What is the best solvent / cleaner for round up?

    Does anything kill wandering dew?

    And roundup will kill the foliage at high enough concentrations, but a small thermonuclear device at weekly may be required to cause minor discomfort to the extensive root system.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    That's my experience. It's indestructible.

    How do I get rid of it?
    Cover the area with black plastic for 6-12 months; or
    Spray with 60ml triclopyr (300g/l e.g. Grazon®) + 10ml penetrant per 10 litres water. Follow-up is essential.
