Aminopryalid, as previously noted on this website, is suddenly big news. It seems that this recently created hormonal herbicide has the potential to wreak havoc amongst plant growers throughout the country. One has no way of knowing that their manure has not been tainted by contact with this readily available product at some stage along the process. It is known to be used by farmers and landscape gardeners among others to achieve a weed-free sward and has found it's way down through the food-chain into many sources of manure.
