Yeah well I'm no scientist but I read Huber's stuff and have simply reported what I made of it. Pop-dude above called it bullshit but didn't challenge the notion that glyphosate changes the soil (via root exudates) which kills the plant (in some way), and ...
oh FFS! Plant roots exude all kinds of things (you might like to read up on Mycorrhiza), and when you spray them (the plants remember, not the soil) with glyphosate it changes the things they exude, which changes the soil (because the plant's roots are in ...

Read my comment again insider - I said nothing about spraying it on the soil. You spray it on the plant, the plant exudes it into the soil, and the soil pathogens do the rest. And if you want more, use google to look up Dr Don Huber's work. He's the guy ...
Good questions and I'm not sure but... Conventional advice to farmers is to "spray out" paddocks before sowing maize (for silage), winter or summer crops, or just re-grassing. So kiwi dairy farmers use lots directly (not us though, I'm pleased to say). ...
The way Glyphosate (Roundup) works is by distorting the balance of the soil biology. It doesn't kill plants directly. The plants are killed by pathogens that are always in the soil, but were kept in check by other microbes until the glyphosate interfered. ...
Good response from Parker. BTW, its Bryan Leyland - Geoff is the Waikato academic.
You're assuming that the social monoposonist will be willing to accept all offers of supply. Why would it do that?

I'm late to comment, but... JK's proposition that farmers will be forced off their land is not correct. Provided they are profitable there is no reason they should/will not stay on the land. The argument is here: http://www.progressiveturmoil.com/2010/10/...
I guess the speech was not that newsworthy on 3 News, Didn't make the first part of the bulletin. Oh well... Better luck next year Phil
. ...I guess the problem is that Key simply doesn't appear to like his job, his people or his country and clearly prefers to be somewhere else. That's not his problem, it's ours..... WTF... That is a pretty shoddy statement to make.. This is an envy attack...
Goff and co... you are all going to be on the opposition benches for a very long time.... [lprent: Read the policy. You're looking like a mindless troll and if I see any more like this inane comment then I'll treat you as a spambot. ]
