Using Roundup to Kill Invasives

True; chemical compositions etc. is not my area of expertise lmao. That said, in my select example at least, there are already a bunch of chemicals such as mercury in SFL fresh water from agriculture and treating melaleuca is the lesser of two evils.

There are lots of good sources available online for most common pesticide properties. The top Google hits are all generally useful, but NPIC is a solid choice:

Roundup does break down reasonably quickly but also binds strongly to soil (so it tends to stay in place once bound)

This has gotten pretty off-topic. Maybe one of the @forum_moderators should split the Roundup discussion off?

yeah while roundup shouldn’t be overused, it’s actually one of the least toxic (to humans) pesticides out there. Obviously it’s very toxic to plants. But people don’t seem to realize what sorts of soil fumigants and carcinogens are regularly used for factory farming, at least in the USA
