David you may recall that soem time back we had a discussion here on
glyphosate residues - it arose from a post that was made by Sheldon
and where I responded about how it seemed to leave residues that had
an impact on roses. You asked if anyone had seen and 'real' info on
any residues.
The Jan/Feb 2013 (and yes, that 2013 date is correct) copy of the ABC
'Organic Gardener' mag has a response from Jerry C-W in the Q and A
section about this very topic and he's given has lots of cites. It
seems there is lots of well researched findings on the residues and
he mentions which foods it can be found in which were grown a year
after application.


Thanks. It looks like the article isn't on line. Any chance you could
give me the references?


There are 9 of them and they are all long URLs so it'd take me ages and you
can see from my post above that my typing is very bad.

Here's one but other than that it might be worth asking if your local
library has a copy or can get it on InterLL. My local library gets it and I
get them to get me lots of things on InterLL if I think I might want to buy
it - these days I want to see stuff before I buy.

1993:W:epa.gov/oppsrrd1/REDs/old_reds/glyphosate.pdf

Oh gack! That's about as useful as boobs on a budgie but if you put that
into google from 'epa' onwards, it will get you a download of the PDF, ( I
hate them given my download speeds).

If you really can't get the mag at your local Library let me know and I"ll
plug through them over time for you when it's too hot to ge tout and garden.
