Thanks for the info Gary.  Did you file a pesticide incident report?  If not, please do so at beekill.epa.gov

I will perform a test of straight Roundup on some nucs after almonds--if I get the same results, we can let EPA know that there needs to be a clear label restriction.


I see 2 distinctly different statements here!   So resolution is needed.

The first statement is "Roundup directly"

The second is "straight Roundup"


These two statements are not the same issues.   Some clarification would be needed.


I would also ponder why we would be reporting kills that are factually based on stupidity???  But that’s a separate point.
