I gave up trying to make Martin read the URL I quoted.
Not to help people to realize that chemical companies may also be present
on newsgroups...

Would it not be a good idea to quote the relevant details instead of
giving an url with reams of irelevant rubbish to wade through?


I and others, including French speakers, have read all the URLs he quoted. None
contained the information we asked for.

What was the concentration measured in French rivers
and he ignored the comment in his own quoted URL that detergents cause the same
chemical that he attributes to the breakdown of Round Up.


Maybe URG should be renamed URGM ?
Looks like there is a lot of Glyphosate lovers here...

I would use ammonium sulphamate. Degrades in a few weeks into sulphate
of ammonium but the EU banned it from use as a weedkiller in favour of
Glyphosate possibly under pressure from Monsanto- allegedly!
They have also acted to ban sodium chlorate so gradually the effective
weed killers are going.

Stubborn weeds: if they have long or deep roots (couch grass...) use a
*lower* concentration, and treat more than once.

The reason is that the weedkiller takes time to get to the parts other
weedkillers don't reach, and you don't want the top growth to die till it
gets there.


"Bob Minchin" a écrit dans le message de
...
A 1 litre container of 360gm/l concentrate claims to treat 3000 sq metres

so that is 120mg per sq metre. The amount of water you use really depends
on the method of application so long as you deposit the required amount of
GF.
More stubborn weed need higher concentrations so you can scale up
accordingly.

Having read the post about GF in France, I wondered what the
concentration should be for actual 'effective' use........Gm/Lt ?
