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.


"Bloodywell intact", Torsten, try to be grammatical

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


Well, what can one say.


That it doesn't hang about long in significant food plants. IIRC.
Even if it does, so what? Over the years I've ferretted out scores of
references and always come to a dead end as far as any harm goes.
Can you mention any harm from glyphosate?
