There is a new generation of herbicides being used in the U.S., they are called Clopyralid, Aminopyralid, and Picloram. These chemicals are threatening the entire organic gardening and farming movement. They can be introduced to your soils, through finished compost, manures, lawn waste, leaves, and straw mulches. As little as 3 parts per billion will wreak havoc with tomatoes, potatoes, spinach, lettuce and beans. It takes as much as a year in the soil to break down. If these herbicides show up on certified organic operations, they are automatically de-certified for three years. Even composting will not affect the herbicide. The American food chain is incredibly contaminated, and now almost impossible to avoid .this contamination. These are my own plants with pictures taken today. Please call your governmental representatives and get this stuff banned quickly. They make Round-up look like kids candy.
Thanks very much for spreading the word. I obtained some horse manure from what I thought
ReplyDeletewas a safe source. However, since I applied
last summer, my potatoes turned brown, my peas
turned yellow brown and my tomatoes look like
they have fingers on the end of leaves and produce
no tomatoes. I called the local extension agent and he said he gets hundreds of calls from people who have herbicide damage. Let your legislators know that you want these herbicides banned!
Dennis It is sickening. Last year was my 2nd year of contamination, and it was still evident. Basically any manure or hay and straw is suspect if you don't know the source and chemicals used on the properties.
ReplyDeleteDo these plants need to be culled, or will they eventually die???
ReplyDeletecan these plants (tomatoes, potatoes)be saved? If any survive, can the produce be safely consumed?
