Hi all,

Below are links to a draft doc I prepared on alternatives to the use of
Roundup.

Thank-you to those of you who gave me some ideas, in response to a question
I posted on this topic earlier on Sanet.

I prepared this draft, based on the request of a client who is concerned
about the use of Roundup, and wanted my perspective on alternatives.

While the management options I list are probably self-evident to most
practitioners, esp. organic farmers, this is intended more for laypersons
that may not be as familiar with field production; or for those who resist
the idea of non-chemical weed control.

Your suggestions on general points or on specific management tactics that I
may have missed would be appreciated.

Aloha,
