    Fulvic def helps reduced rates. We face similar issue with termination on east coast on England, grassweed termination being the main reason we rely on glyphosate. Whilst there are studies to show some negative effects of gly on microbial populations in soil (encouraging “bad” bacteria), I cannot fine any indication of how long this lasts – will microbrial populations recover after the 26 days mentioned in the report I read? Is glyphosate the least worst option in presence of grassweeds? In UK/EU based situation glyphosate is only used pre crop so short term impacts on soil (eg encouraging Fusarium spp) might not be so much of an issue compared to how it is used in crop with GM RR in the US, Americas?
