And on the bright side they spray it in water.

I’d go out on a limb and say triclopyr is also likely 100x more toxic. This is a predictable result when you let lawyers and juries control science.

Highly recommended over glyphosate on all the pond pages, too.

Where is the study? This is just a link to picture with a caption.

ETA: Not a study. A report by "Friends of Earth," in which they looked at the list of active ingredients and then reviewed prior data about those chemicals. So, literally nothing new is presented here. Clickbait.

Well, of course it is more toxic because glyphosate is basically not toxic. Roundup used to say on the label that if you had livestock get sick from eating treated grsss, you should not let them eat so much the next time!

This is why I like glyphosate so much! It is very effective and basically non-toxic.
