is there any problem when using roundup to kill weeds in beans at desiccation timing if you were wanting to keep some back for seed ?
Thats similar to the local advice that we heard, was just wondering what the position was from a hypothetical postionThere's much discussion about glyphosate on seed. I wouldn't and it's illegal. If you must, make sure the beans are ripe before spraying. If you do them before they are ripe you will stop them germinating.
asking for piece of mind, get so many differing opinions on the subject but the local people I would trust have said the same. it was hypothetical as rightly or wrongly we are letting our beans mature the way nature intended.I see, you're asking for a friend!
Spray for weeds especially bg that germinates late where the seed matures after the last week of AugustDo you desiccate your beans before harvest?
