Quite credible as a reference.
For proof the work of a person who succeeded in winning a lawsuit, following the cancer of his father. Today, you know very well that any type of lawsuit can be won, as long as there is enough money to supply the legal system.
In this case, we did not protect ourselves sufficiently, vis-à-vis toxic substances concentrated during spraying, which has nothing to do with the toxicity for the soil, even less that residual on our plates, but no any amalgamation works with social networks.

It is therefore toxic at any dose in conventional agriculture which works on almost dead substrates and it is organic when farmers use too much. It's really not difficult to understand.
Claude Bourguignon spitting out ... Another anthroposophist
It was you who pulled yourself away
a bullet in the feet by posting this "duck" article.
It is clear that in organic they have no other alternative to fight against fungal diseases such as mildew. This year with the repeated rains, it is necessary to restart the treatments after each rain, since the Bordeaux mixture has been leached and accumulates in the soil and since it is not a degradable product.
This is how they killed soils for a long time in the Bordeaux vineyards ... Normal since the vines are particularly fragile, they need more treatment than conventional crops.
This institutionalized dogmatism is a shame because there are "synthetic products" (Oh !! the bad word
) effective, disease-targeted and non-persistent in soils
Double bullet in the feet:The "scratchy" article does not cite its sources, while the study in question does not specifically target copper, but heavy metals in general.
