I used to sell this stuff some years ago and at the time it was considered
very, very safe and as far as I knew there was no reported problems with
this chemical. However, DDT was considered completely safe too at one time.
For people who don't know what glyphosphate is, its main common name is
Round-up but it is in almost all weedkillers and weeding wands sold in the
home garden market these days. Its used in grain growing farming on the
Darling Downs in mega litres.
If you want to know more Nufarm Chemicals are the manufacturers of this
chemical in Australia. Monsanto were the original manufacturer.
