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.

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.

don't know if it has the same toxic adjuvent.  If it does, I take my 
comments back- the results of the experiment would then indeed be shocking.
