Cardamine hirsuta

I suggest the manufacturer and ask them these questions. Could it not be
some growing condition or disease that is damaging your roots. As I have not
used roundup around this species I can't comment. However I have used the
product on /around every temperate garden flower known to man. Every species
of temperate Iris, hybrids (thousands) and thousands of hybrid daylily
varieties without problem, including every temperate cut flower! No problems.
For roundup to get into the plant it cannot travel through soil. It must
enter the pores on healthy leaves and pores on some nonwoody stems. I find
that many times the user doesn't follow the directions on the label. Do you
think Monsanto would risk millions in fines producing a chemical that harmed
plants people want to grow. I am truly sorry you had a crop failure but I
do not believe the cause was the roundup. If you spray between flowers and
weeds you have to prevent the spray from drifting on your flowers. It is
non selective in what it kills. Please remember there are a lot of diseases-
viral, fungal and bacterial that can easily damage or weaken plants. Russ H.

Hi Russ

Nice article

I don't agree that Round up is harmless after one week
one of my suppliers used it three months before seeding Mirabilis jalapa
the harvest was less as half from normal
and the quality from the harvested roots was terrible
I stopped selling them because they started rotting on my stand in
September
so whatever they say
some way round up doesn't break down completely
and is also infecting probably roots or the just emerging cotyledon

It turns
into a harmless nontoxic chemical.
