Sorry a bit late in responding
 
I'm not quite sure what the point was that you were trying to make Bill, but small and large scale folks are using AACT successfully.
 
The point is that Rup and other products still have a place in agriculture and statements that these products are 'not wanted in the world 'is so much idealism and not practical.I believe I have read that there are bacteria that can clean up oil slicks- if correct then is it not possible that bacteria can be 'manufactured' to deal with any 'cide' excess in the soil?
It's a big job to do well.  We have hints and ideas.  Get good biology in the soil, let it do the normal set of interactions, with us encouraging maximum biology at every step, and the system seems to get back into a good balance.  Could we make it go faster?  Could we understand exactly what the important factors are?  Sure.  But it takes time.  And money.  

I agree with the above statement,
I have difficulty in imagining ACT controlling unwanted plants. Which can be a volunteer plant from the previous crop, It cannot be an exact science and so one will always be experimenting which is 'not on' on a large scale.
Without rain for three & half months I have weeds germinating in an area that was oats cut for hay, there is no way that ACT could be effectively applied now so how are the weeds to be controlled before they seed?. I do not wish to cultivate and cause dust and loose moisture . What is the alternative ?The weeds did not germinate at the same time as the oats but after they were cut.
Had hoped that some of your 'Os' wheat farmers  may  have commented about the use of a knock down herbicide in their cultivation programs.
So, send money............  :-)
 
OK. I will send you 100 ? which is about 100$. Where do you wish it to be sent.? Would be easier to send to SFW Lab. in Holland if possible.
