I've been using the Farm General Aquatic Herbicide for two seasons, cutting and painting Honeysuckle and Buckthorn. No resprouts.
Got back from moving a slash pile [oh, the farmer will be planting corn in that field] on Wednesday, email waiting, a DNR biologist sent "cannot use a glyphosate with CAS# 38641-94-0 (i.e., Farm General Aquatic) under our general approvals process". Well, at least I didn't open the gallon of FGAH I picked up about a week ago and I can return it if this doesn't turn out.
Both FGAH and Rodeo [which is approved] both use isopropylamine salt of Glyphosate, are listed for use on aquatic sites. Farm General is $29 / Gal. I haven't got a clear answer on WHAT is specifically wrong with Farm General. After long service in a function of the Federal govt, one obviously impossible issue might be that Farm General didn't bribe, er, donate, enough to the committee. Or it could actually be formulation. Haven't seen the approvals process.
At any rate, I need an aquatic rated herbicide in some of the areas I operate in [watershed is "exceptional"]. If we could only convince the Red Chinese that Invasive Bush Honeysuckle was the key to American exceptionalism, they'd send teams over to eradicate it. Or, perhaps Bush Honeysuckle grown in America was more potent than the stuff growing in Asia, so they could get more... potency... with TCM concoctions... Bush Honeysuckle, the new "little blue pill"...
