    "Labels for glufosinate products (like Basta, Liberty, or generic glufosinate-ammonium) typically recommend a 7 to 30-day plant-back
    interval for many vegetable crops, especially broadleaf crops like
    tomatoes."

    These herbicides work by interfering with a green leafy plant's ability
    to convert sunlight to sugar, thus starving the weed or any plant that
    relies on photosynthesis to thrive. It rapidly decomposes when it
    touches the soil. It's generally seen as being harmless to humans
    because we don't rely on photosynthesis for our food - although, I'm not
    so sure about Bruce.

    The herbicide sounds like it works in a similar manner to Roundup. The
    main advantage is that it doesn't have thousands of lawsuits attached to
    it.

    Complete breakdown of Roundup: Often takes 1–3 months in most soils,
    but under certain conditions, it can persist longer.

    Glyphosate is harmless to plants unless it's sprayed on the leaves of
    plants and allowed to dry for about 20 minutes. Once it's in the soil,
    it's safe to plant. If it rains too soon after it's applied, you might
    have to reapply.

    Glyphosate and other similar products are pretty much perfect
    herbicides. You might want to use some other weed killer but why the
    heck would you want to do something like that?

    Maybe because glyphosate's banned in more and more countries? Perhaps
    because it has been classified as probably carcinogenic to humans?

    It's still the world's most used herbicide. It would stupid to use
    anything else. As some guy in the past said, "The only thing we have to
    fear, is fear itself."

    Yes, car engines ran smoother too when the valves had leaded gasoline.
    We should bring that back too.

    Most of the good food additives are gone.

    Because it's the most used? Do you have a lemming gene?
