[Native Gardening] DuPont catches flak over Imprelis weed-killer

 

Lot's of troubling quotes in this story
from academics.

This does not sound like a product I would
ever use. I long for the days when people
would take the time to pull weeds instead
of poisoning the ground with deadly chemicals.

PhillyDeals: DuPont catches flak over
Imprelis weed-killer
July 17, 2011|

"By June, state agricultural extension services in
Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Indiana were naming
Imprelis as a suspect in the blighting of Norway
spruce and eastern white pines, Northern trees
which are not native to much of the country but
have been planted by the millions in yards, golf
courses, cemeteries and parks, in the path of the
turf chemical industry's marketers. "
