The National Association of Invasive Plant Councils is sponsoring webinars for the National Invasive Species Awareness Weed (NISAW) 2019, Feb 25-28. The webinars will run 3-4p ET. The webinars are free and available to anyone interested. Please feel free to spread this information to others.
On this date, the webinar is entitled "Glyphosate- Friend or Foe?"
Reports about the harmful effects of glyphosate continue to be in the news every couple of years. Whether it is toxicity to frogs, cancer in rats, or potentially carcinogenic effects in humans, this world leading herbicide is commonly discussed. In this presentation we will review the science behind these claims and debunk some of the myths. We will also frame these claims in a proper context to help us understand whether glyphosate is harmful or a useful product for our industry.
