[APWG] Herbicide Application Techniques Prohibit Re: NEWS: Study finds one-time herbicide use decreased native plants, may have increased invasive plants

[Wayne Tyson]

AT LAST!  But SIXTEEN YEARS to declare the obvious that can be demonstrated 
by one simple experiment?

Actually, I'm not surprised. But let us all repeat and repeat: "I hereby 
eternally swear that I shall eschew the use of general spraying as a 
weed-control technique."

This is not to say that direct application of the minimal lethal dose by 
wick, by brush, by injection, by highly directed, low-pressure 
pneumatically-driven application to target plants only should be abandoned.
