| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the increasing clopyralid contamination of the open windrow composting operation in Christchurch, New Zealand. States that "unlike most other herbicides, clopyralid does not readily breakdown during hot composting." Presents some methods the Christchurch City Council is using to combat the problem, including dialogue with herbicide manufacturers, diversion of contaminated garden waste, public education, and product trials. Stresses that "compost operators should be aware of the potentially devastating effect that clopyralid can have on susceptible plants grown in finished compost." Suggests that "the action that would provide the most certainty and comfort for compost operators would be to see clopyralid-based herbicides removed from sale in domestic markets." |
