take on my comment. I was not responding to the details of the experiment,
just the direct quotes from the experimenter. Calling the results
"shocking" seems to be a rather unscientific assessment perhaps designed
for attention more than clarity.

directly into the tank either. As a layman it seems curious that this
would be the methodology. I would be more interested in the affects of
runoff into streams and estuaries from plants and soil sprayed because I
see no reason a fruit grower would use Roundup in any other way. I did my
research on Roundup years ago when I was doing some native meadow
installations which is the only thing I've used this product for to any
extent. The research led me to a confidence that Roundup pretty much stays
put.

comments back- the results of the experiment would then indeed be shocking.
