A number of soil microbiologists are all reporting the same type of impact on the soil biology. One paper mentions that it’s a very powerful herbicide, but also a very potent biocide. It’s a little bit selective in that it stimulates some soil organisms and is very toxic to other organisms. It’s toxic to your legume module bacteria for nitrogen fixation, also quite toxic to the organisms that make manganese and iron available for plant uptake, and those are critical nutrients. It stimulates the soil pathogens that do the killing from a weed control standpoint, but it also stimulates some so that you’re essentially making a super-pathogen to kill a weed. Then you leave that super-pathogen in the soil, which also attacks other plants later on in the rotation.

This is the statement I was referencing to in Dr. Hubers interview. Ami
