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

[Growinwild at aol.com]

Dear Plant Conservation network,
    Please post the message below. Many, many thanks. Karen

In our continuing efforts (which have been highly successful so far) to get 
Brookhaven National Laboratory to do the right thing in restoring the Peconic 
River using local genotypes (i.e. letting it restore itself for the most part 
and monitoring for invasives), we are now faced with another challenge: the 
eradication, or at least control, of the invasive Pharagmites.
    BNL is proposing to treat the Phrag colonies using the herbicide Gly-pro 
with a "wick" approach application to stems and leaves. 
    Does anyone out there have any research or knowledge regarding the impact 
of this herbicide, and/or Rodeo, to surrounding biota, the water column, 
downstream etc that you could either summarize for me or direct me to.
    Many, many thanks, Karen Blumer
