See also the thread 'Horse manure advice', where we touched briefly on contamination of locally produced horse manure by Pyralids. It seems that we must remain vigilant about what we put on our plants, and remain cynical about the claims by big businesses - 'saving the planet' and 'going green' seem to be currently useful phrases that justify the big chemical companies selling us all sorts of obnoxious substances! Ironic isn't it, that the EU banned the sale of natural substances, such as Derris powder!
As I said in another post there are too many people who want to take short cuts. This includes using pesticides and chemical fertilizers. It is of no surprise to me that these chemicals contaminate the environment. What shocks is that other people are.

That's a factsheet for a herbicide, no more.
