Pulling a fastie, eh? Your reference contradicts your claim.


No. I've looked up the reference given and stand by my claim.
"Rapidly" is perhaps a misleading word.


Point is, you claim it breaks down rapidly in plants,
while referencing that information to a source which
says in some plants it remains bloody intact.

It is not regarded as
persistent in significant plants. From memory, corn was
amongst these.


Well, what can one say.
