Glyphosate & Garden Soil: What Does The Science Say.
Description
Are you worried about glyphosate lingering in your garden soil? Maybe you recently purchased a home and are concerned about the soil history. Or maybe you are moving from conventional to organic and are worried about your past use of round up. This gardening in Canada article is going to look at glyphosate and garden soil.
Glyphosate is round up. Round up as a product that is typically used as a broad leaf herbicide. It is meant for killing plants that are not genetically modified to withstand glyphosate being used. But the question becomes how long does it survive in our soil.
The first place I looked was scientific literature and the journal entry I thought spoke the most relevant to gardeners was done by the university of Cambridge. This study took glyphosate and looked at its effects on soil microbiology. It’s jorkin to consideration the depth in which the pesticide penetrated and the potential application strength.
