Hi Dan,There has been a bit of work done on the effect of glyphosate in the
soil, apparently it is a strong inhibitor of nitrogen fixers among other
soil life but is also a very strong chelator of metals in the soil , so much
to the extent that it is its actual mode of action is the inhibition of
metals for enzyme function and disease protection. I have attached a paper
for your perousal.

Hi Group,
I was wondering as a home gardener if anyone had done a quick look through
their microscopes to see if Round-Up had had any effect on soil microbes or
know of research that has been done on this subject.
