- dwaite 4y agoI love when someone is applying in a commercial space, has a concerned person angrily demand to know whether it is Roundup, and says 'its not Roundup, it's glyphosate'. With the concerned person perfectly happy with that explanation.
- tuatoru 4y agoSimilar thing in NZ with sodium fluoroacetate, big brand name 1080, "ten-eighty". Used to kill bird predators in NZ's forest parks. "Nah, we don't use 1080. This is sodium fluoroacetate." "Oh." Edit: NZ also permits use of glyphosate. It is starting to be discouraged because of the effects of long-term use on soil ecology, rather than health. There are no good (non-labor-intensive) alternatives, though. To grow grass we have to use it, pretty much. At least until all-weather autonomous solar-powered weed-grubbing robots arrive.
