[QUOTE="bwranch, post: 35805, member: 102"] One of the special properties of glyphosate, the active ingredient of Round Up, is the ability to kill the roots of the plant, not just the foliage. If the treated area is grazed, then the active is removed from the field along with the grass that is consumed. The 14 day restriction is in place to allow time for the active to translocate from the foliage to the roots. I don't know about the 1/10 acre restriction but I'm checking for you. I'll let you know what the biologist/weed scientists have to say. FYI, in no way is any of this related to safety, it's efficacy stuff. In terms of safety, for example, the label states that you can apply a light dose of Roundup to alfalfa and harvest in 36 hours. [/QUOTE]
