This is what they published with the study. I'm not saying everything is cool with this product, I just view these warnings with a skeptical eye when I first see them. A Pesticide Information Project of Cooperative Extension Offices of Cornell University, Michigan State University, Oregon State University, and University of California at Davis. Major support and funding was provided by the USDA/Extension Service/National Agricultural Pesticide Impact Assessment Program.

I wholeheartedly agree
When I was trained by Cornell Cooperative Extension as a Master Gardener in the early '80's, we were instructed that glyphosate became inert once it made contact with the soil.
That "RoundUP was an "on contact" herbicide that then was absorbed into the weed plant, and killed even the roots of the greatest spreading farm nemesis weed : "Quack Grass".
About a decade later, it was learned that glyphosate was showing up in farm and stream run off, and having an adverse reaction on amphibians and fishery.
Apparently, there is still much more to learn about the chemicals and commonly used insecticides and herbicides, especially when used in tandem and the inter-reactions.
