I got my super dried round up today, so we’ll see how that works.
I went to Walmart and Home Depot today, and there is nothing with 2-4-D amino thing. I think it’s illegal in CA.[/QUOTE]
“Glyphosate is an acid molecule, so it is formulated as a salt for packaging and handling. Various salt formulations include isopropylamine, diammonium, monoammonium, or potassium as the counterion. Some brands include more than one salt. Some companies report their product as acid equivalent (ae) of glyphosate acid, or some report it as active ingredient (ai) of glyphosate plus the salt, and others report both. To compare performance of different formulations, knowledge of how the products were formulated is needed. Since the salt does not contribute to weed control and different salts have different weights, the acid equivalent is a more accurate method of expressing and comparing concentrations. Adjuvant loading refers to the amount of adjuvant already added to the glyphosate product. Fully loaded products contain all the necessary adjuvants, including surfactant; some contain no adjuvant system, while other products contain only a limited amount of adjuvant (minimal or partial loading) and additional surfactants must be added to the spray tank before application. As of 2000 (just before Monsanto’s patent on glyphosate expired), over 400 commercial adjuvants from over 34 different companies were available for use in commercial agriculture.”
"It was assumed that because of improved manufacturing processes that there were no longer any dangerous dioxins in 2,4-D; however, a July 2013 Four Corners investigation found elevated levels of dioxins in a generic version of 2,4-D, which is one of Australia’s most widely used herbicides. One scientist said the product tested by Four Corners, which was imported from China, had “one of the highest dioxin readings for 2,4-D in the last 10 to 20 years, and could pose potential health risks.”
BE VERY CAREFUL what you use.
