- defrost 9mo agoDo you see the same or similar issues in US Forestry management with "Red Slurry" ammonium phosphate retardants as are outlined in the article or are those concerns unique to the Australian low phosphate soils and natives?
- amarcozzi 9mo agoGood question and unfortunately I don't know the answer to that. I haven't heard of it being an issue, but it doesn't mean that it's not a problem by us. I tend to see more concerns raised with the impact of retardent drops on watersheds.
