Looks like it cant be got now so what are the alternatives ?

(And let''s try keep this useful rather than a. plough or no till bashing thread ) ALL farmers (other than organic) are going to run into issues because on this at some point


My Agronomist mentioned acetic acids today ? any experience ?

Acetic acid (vinegar) is in the garden centre spec "glyphosate free" branded Roundup.

Perlagonic acid is another substance I've seen, but it was better as an adjuvant for glyphosate than a substitute for it. Perlagonic is also contact only, not translocated like glyphosate, so perhaps diquat/paraquat would be a better comparison.
