Glyphosate

[Snoop Puss]

I have used it before though and I have some concentrate left, but I have come to the conclusion that with all the evidence against it I will not use it again.

Have you any views on how to dispose of it? I don't fancy pouring it down the municipal drains!

I think you are getting confused with Neonicotinoids which are an insecticide and may well kill bees.

As for causing cancer I can only repeat the article which says "The European Commission says that the European Food Safety Authority, the European Chemicals Agency and other scientific bodies found no link to cancer in humans."

I think we have to use it sparingly as it seems plants are becoming resistant.

I searched for ECFA on wiki and there appears to be instances within the companies history, since its inception in 2002, where there have been alleged conflicts of interest, ''some of them undeclared.''

Here we can take it to specific recycling centres. Apparently it is collected by a specialist company which deals with hazardous waste, and is probably incinerated.

Can we not just let people make up their own minds about this - it's been debated to death and always gets locked in the end.
People really just don't like being told what to do or what not to do..... as long as it is legal to use it's down to individual choice.

As you all will know, and expect, the Mods are watching, and the thread will be closed if it becomes argumentative.
Most, if not all, threads about Glyphosate end up being closed. I'll be very surprised if this one isn't.

Can I ask that you close the thread VC? Apologies for starting it
