In taking this action, Bayer-Monsanto is making no admissions. Lawn and garden glyphosate products will still be available if companies like yours sell it and until supplies are exhausted.<\/p>\r\n<p>My understanding is that your stores still sell glyphosate-based lawn and garden products. As you know, Bayer-Monsanto\u2019s decision on Roundup is a voluntary reformulation, and therefore the company has decided its own timing. I do not think that the continued sale of Roundup is responsible corporate behavior.<\/p>\r\n<p>Please know that replacement versions of Roundup&#x2122; products are also toxic. Roundup\u00ae Dual Action, for example, contains the following active ingredients: triethylamine salt of triclopyr, fluazipop-P-butyl, diquat dibromide, and ammonium salt of imazapic\u2014ingredients that are reproductive and developmental toxicants, sensitizers, and toxic to aquatic and other organisms.<\/p>\r\n<p>When it comes to weeds, gardeners need good tools that enable them to control them with minimal effort and damage to their plants. Although gardeners differ in their preference for style of garden hoe, all must be sharp to operate efficiently, so files for sharpening should be located near the hoes, and customer service representatives should be prepared to demonstrate their use.<\/p>\r\n<p>Weed-free and chemical-free organic mulches \u2014 such as straw or wood chips \u2014 are garden essentials for both weed control and long-term organic fertility. Speaking of fertility, natural fertility builds healthy soil for growing strong plants that resist insect and disease damage, while synthetic fertilizers kill valuable soil organisms. Healthy soils retain water and are especially helpful to plants in times of drought. Stores should stock fertility products approved for use in organic production.<\/p>\r\n<p>We need to adopt practices in sync with nature that supports soil biology, cycles nutrients for plants naturally, retains moisture and water, and increases resiliency. Please:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li>Remove Roundup from your stores now.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Remove all toxic lawn and landscape pesticides from your shelves.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Remove synthetic fossil fuel-based fertilizers.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Fill your shelves with products compatible with certified organic products.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Teach consumers of methods and products that support soil health, a clean environment, and vibrant landscapes.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/lawns-and-landscapes\/overview\">https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/resources\/lawns-and-landscapes\/overview<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, March 27, 2023)\u00a0In a move labeled \u201crisk mitigation\u201d\u2014that is, mitigation of the\u00a0risk to its shareholders\u2014Bayer-Monsanto\u00a0announced\u00a0in 2021 that it would phase out Roundup&#x2122; products containing glyphosate for the residential lawn and garden market as of January 2023.
