Kelthane is a miticide, not a herbicide. Bindweed does attract spider
mites so Kelthane would make it healtheir.


With all due respect, I was not talking to you. Kelthane has been
banned from the market. It's one of the most toxic chemicals on earth
and pesticides are all pesticides, even if they are herbicides, still
covered under the pesticide umbrella. Kelthane could never make any
plant healthier. It's soil and cultural practices which gives plants
health.
