Status and Preliminary Research on Non-Synthetic Herbicides for Organic Production
Procedures for identifying and registering non-synthetic herbicides for possible use in organic production are complex, involving federal and state laws and regulations as well as national and local organic certifying agencies. Our purpose is to explain

Evaluation of Organic Herbicides [PDF]
Cover crops, cultivation, flaming, soil solarization, and mulching are commonly used for weed control in organic production systems. However, several new herbicides, approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI), are recommended as contact, non-selective, post-emergence herbicides for annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Citric acid (Alldown)

Effect of an organic residue on herbicide field dissipation [PDF]
The aim of this work was to study the effect of the application of a solid waste from olive oil production (alperujo) on the movement and persistence of the herbicide diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea]. The application of alperujo, fresh or composted, to the land has been shown to be an extremely effective contribution to increasing crop ...

Organic meat products contaminated with carcinogenic herbicide
A storage depot in east Germany has been identified as the source of several hundred tonnes of organic animal feed contaminated with the herbicide nitrofen. Before the reunification of Germany in 1990, the depot, in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, was used for storing the herbicide.
