Home-grown veg ruined by toxic fertiliser
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jun/29/food.agriculture?gusrc=rss&feed=environment
The New York state's Bureau of Pesticides Management refused to approve the two preparations of this chemical, Milestone and ForeFront (the one used in the UK) until Dow provided them with additional information, because they were not able to confirm Dow's findings about the half-life of the chemical in aerobic systems. Here's a portion of their report ( http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/herb-growthreg/24-d-butylate/aminopyralid/aminopyr_wth_0207.pdf ):
- While the response submitted by Dow AgroSciences, LLC, was informative, the Department could not ignore the inadequacy of the original aerobic metabolism study. Therefore the Department could not ensure that the labeled use of aminopyralid would not negatively impact groundwater resources in sensitive areas of New York State.
