This article makes zero sense. It's about hydroponics - growing plants in water, without soil. But it's complaining about spraying the ground that a greenhouse is built on top of.
Am I missing something, or is glyphosate going into the ground, and the plants are never touching the ground?
- tinix 7y agoPretty much, that's how I read it too. This has nothing to do with glyphosate being on the hydroponic crops. It says it right there in the article: > This is all because the USDA does not consider spraying toxic herbicides like glyphosate on the soil immediately prior to inspection to be a disqualifier for organic certification. > According to Jennifer, because the plant itself is not being exposed to prohibited substances like glyphosate, spraying the ground with herbicides the week before organic certification is 100% legal.
