Saragossa sea weed……aproblem

I would have thought working in a lab you had some idea? Perhaps not prudent to disclose?

Don’t know what Bouba is.

I can use Google.

Seems odd it must not get into human bloodstream but is ok for animals (may have cuts upon them and get into blood stream?)

I am interested, so may even look into farming or farming regularity boards. Farming forums would say it totally safe for sheep and food I am sure.

Bouba is an ex Kiwi so probably has intimate knowledge of sheep.

It's persistence in soil, and the effects that has on the quality of the soil are a far greater issue.

Post 11 by a laboratory person stated the opposite of what you state I think; stating it decomposes very quickly in the soil.

Just Google it, lots out there

Is there really?

I am not an expert like the poster you contradicted.

I gave you links re cancer after you told me to read more.

I have searched as you just suggested and found nothing.

I would not be surprised if what you state is true but some evidence would be useful.

Is there anything? You say there is lots, but…all I have is a lab person and you contradicting each other.

No, I cannot find anything out there that mentions what you say.

Perhaps do not have it all.

Amazing - a simple "persistence of glyphosate in soil" brings up plenty of research when I put it in google. You really will have to look and read for yourself, I have a boat to paint, or failing that posts about boats to read.
 
It's true some studies have found evidence of glyphosate after a few months but then again if you look hard enough you can find evidence of lots of things in soil.
I am reminded of wanting to dispose of some Kiln refractory blocks from a kiln refurbishment in a landfill that I controlled and being a good boy decided to ask the EA for a derogation on the licence because they weren't part of the licence conditions although I felt they fell within the general classification of inert building waste. They asked for a full chemical analysis and as I expected they exceeded the licence arsenic and iron specifications although the natural clay of the landfill / quarry also exceeded the licence parameters. No amount of arguing would persuade them to accept that the waste would in effect dilute the natural levels of arsenic and iron within the landfill.

Very very true - my own (relatively informed) opinion remains that glyphosate, if used correctly and not too often, is the least bad of the bunch.

I have however seen first hand the effects of long-term (twice yearly for about 40 years) heavy use in Scotland under low scrub trees (to control bracken and rhododendrons at a friend's bothy - not by me) - the natural mixture of fine grasses, moss, fungi etc that should be there is not healthy, leading me to conclude that it does affect the soil badly in those (extreme) conditions, and therefore probably to some extent in less extreme conditions. That said, rhododendrons aren't exactly great for the biodiversity either 🤷‍♂️
