2,4-D doesn't do the exact same job, I'm afraid. glypho is a group 9. 2,4-D is a group 4 synthetic auxin growth regulator. One systemic, the other not, respectively. Both have a specific use case and most beneficial time of year to apply. Neither one is used to directly spray crops. Both have little to no soil activitty. This attack on herbicides goes hand in hand with the overall attack on AG, from progressives. I've seen the same literature claiming the cancer potential, but i give no credence to it.
Hey friend I have a question for you. I live in the middle of nowhere and I fight weeds all spring and summer. I have tried pulling by hand but that is really an impossible task given the amount of land I have.
I have tried the dish soap, vinegar and salt to no avail as it only kills the leaves but the green leaves will sprout right where it died.
What is the best weed/grass killer for gravel? I don't care if anything ever grows there again and some of it is next to my raised beds where I grow my vegetables and fruits.
I'm also aware of a deacon at church that died from non Hodgkin's lymphoma and they think it was due to round up.
Thank you for your time and patience in answering my question.
Not a problem, I also have a colleague at work with the same, they also "think" its caused by roundup. Everything causes cancer and bad health, so I don't pay much mind. I def have empathy to anyone suffering for any reason, don't get me wrong.
As far as your gravel, we use "bareground" herbicide. Its a soil applied blanket treatment. You spray every sq ft of your gravel with a particular chemistry, and it prevents anything from growing. Imazapyr, Ecomazapyr are two good ones. They sterilize everything. The timing is also important. Seasonal moisture will help drive the product down to perennial roots. Sometimes pre emergent products alone will not work, because they are mostly targeting annual weeds and not perennial. I sometimes mix the two classes to really get a true bareground with little to no "escapes." Just read label for rates and uses and precautions
2-4-D does the exact same job without the same risk of cancer, and is easier to clean off the produce
