<<< Adsorption: Triclopyr is adsorbed by clay particles and organic matter particles in soil.>>>

Where it then becomes available for absorption by bacteria and fungi. So the real question is not what a product's half life is etc, but how does it impact the microbes that fuel the natural system....
