APWG: 

I can't bear to look! 

How many people on APWG believe that helicopter spraying of "Roundup" is a "Best Management Practice?"

  APWG:  Regarding Wayne Tyson's astonishment (below),.  
    Wayne et al:  Little do you know! (about the magnitude of helicopter applied herbicide here in Utah).  Read this and weep:  http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_15185646 .  Massive amounts of glyphosate are being dumped annually on the non-native genotype of Phragmites australis in the public and private marshlands around Great Salt Lake:  http://www.utahwildlifephotos.com/keyword/phragmites/1/470783372_dUyTS#!i=470783372&k=dUyTS
    I know everyone thinks Utah is kooky, but this is an accepted practice, dare I say "best management practice" BMP!!!

    Y'all:

    OMG, it's worse than I thought! 

    Spraying from a helicopter? Ya gotta be kidding! The only spraying I will even think about is that with a cone that stops any collateral damage, and that only rarely. I want to do some experimenting with wick devices to prevent any atomization of herbicide at all.
