[PCA] Please post -- Impact of Gly-pro, Rodeo

[Dorothy_Geyer at nps.gov]

The Park service used Rodeo for control of aquatic invasives. At the moment
the Park is in the middle of a multi year project to eradicate isolated
units of phragmites, among other things. If you want specific information
on the pros and cons according to the NPS standards, try emailing
Wayne_Millington at nps.gov, he is our regional IPM coordinator. He could send
you to a number of references.

Karen:  I recommend that you visit www.beyondpesticides.com for the most up
to date information
on pesticides and their environmental effects.  And to the best of my
knowledge, both Gly-pro and
Rodeo are the glyphosate (Roundup cousins) formulations that are approved
for aquatic
applications because these do not contain the surfactant (=
spreader/sticker) that harms aquatic
organisms.  So if you are OK with glyphosate, then these herbicides are
even safer. Johnny
