Fiesta Herbicide … DISMAL FAILURE !
Overview
Fiesta is a so-called Green Alternative Pesticide that somehow replaces three-way phenoxy turf herbicides, such as Killex, that contain the active ingredient 2,4-D.
Fiesta may be ALMOST TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE on many weed species, and may be only SLIGHTLY EFFECTIVE on Dandelion and Black Medick.
Additionally, weed species such as Clover, Broad & Narrow-Leaved Plantain, Chicory, Ground Ivy, Mallow, Oxalis, and Thistle MAY RESPOND TO A FIESTA APPLICATION WITH MINOR DAMAGE ONLY, AND RECOVER RAPIDLY, even when the label rate is DOUBLED.
Adequate broad-leaved weed control with Fiesta Herbicide is too often only achieved with an EXORBITANT 6 TO 8 REPEAT APPLICATIONS PER SEASON, or more, well beyond the label recommendation of 4 APPLICATIONS.
Even with REPEAT APPLICATIONS, the weeds are NEVER ENTIRELY KILLED, and EXCESSIVE USE of iron will lead to a DETERIORATION IN TURF QUALITY AND DENSITY, which will lead to further problems with weed invasion.
In fact, tests have revealed that there is ACTUALLY AN EVENTUAL INCREASE IN WEED COVER, with ALL Fiesta rates, for species like Dandelion and Black Medick.
Fiesta Herbicide was registered and approved for use in the Province of Ontario in April 2010, and was quickly incorporated into weed control programs ― NOT BECAUSE OF ITS EFFICACY, but because of the 2009 legislation that IMPOSED AN UNECCESSARY AND UNREALISTIC ANTI-PESTICIDE PROHIBITION which PREVENTED Professional Lawn Care businesses from using conventional herbicides that WERE TRULY EFFECTIVE AS WELL AS SAFE.
The CATASTROPHIC CARNAGE of the Professional Lawn Care Industry in Provinces like Ontario was EXTENSIVE because there were NO valid economical alternatives to replace the prohibited conventional products.
In fact, conventional herbicides, such as 2,4-D, are deemed SAFER than Fiesta.
Because of PROHIBITION in Ontario, the Professional Lawn Care Industry LOST OVER 500,000,000 DOLLARS, with UP TO 12,500 UNEMPLOYED, and ONE-BUSINESS-PER-WEEK DISAPPEARS INTO TOTAL OBLIVION.
The vast majority of users OVERWHELMINGLY CONDEMN Fiesta, hence, the MAJOR REASON for the DOOMING of the Professional Lawn Care Industry that ENTIRELY DEPENDED upon its success.
In fact, conventional herbicides, such as 2,4-D, are deemed SAFER than Fiesta.
Fiesta, and any of its agricultural iron equivalents, are considered to be DISMAL FAILURES as weed control products, especially because of the EXORBITANT NUMBER OF REPEAT APPLICATIONS REQUIRED EVERY SEASON.
In fact, ALL so-called Green Alternative Pesticides and Green Alternative Practices are DISMAL FAILURES ― they DO NOT WORK !
By the year 2011, in jurisdictions like Ontario, the EXORBITANT REPEAT APPLICATIONS AND STUNNINGLY HIGH COST of Fiesta prompted Professional Lawn Care businesses to CONCOCT their own iron-based mixtures through the ILLEGAL USE of LOW-COST AGRICULTURAL IRON EQUIVALENTS.

DESPICABLE ACT Of Subversion By Neudorff
Neudorff Canada is the manufacturer of Fiesta Herbicide, and has ACTED IN A SUBVERSIVE AND DESPICABLE MANNER regarding Manitoba.
In 2013, Neudorff CONSPIRED to PROHIBIT against pest control products with the SOLE INTENTION OF PROFITING FROM THE SALE OF ITS PRODUCT FIESTA.
Neudorff BETRAYED the Professional Lawn Care Industry in order to PROFIT from Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION as a supplier of a product that has been OVERWHELMINGLY CONDEMNED BY ITS USERS.

General Description Of Fiesta Herbicide
Fiesta is a so-called Green Alternative Pesticide that somehow replaces three-way phenoxy turf herbicides, such as Killex, that contain the active ingredient 2,4-D.
Fiesta contains 4.43 per cent iron ( Fe ) present as FeHEDTA, a chelated iron.
There appear to be SEVERAL MAJOR NEGATIVES to Fiesta Herbicide when compared with conventional weed control products, such as 2,4-D.
( See later segment entitled Efficacy Of Fiesta Herbicide. )
It is NOT a « natural » or an « organic » product .
Professional Lawn Care businesses that employed these inaccurate terms in their advertising campaigns were instructed by Health Canada to CEASE and DESIST.

VIOLATIONS By Professional Lawn Care Businesses ― Fiesta Advertised As A Natural Product
By 2012, it became clear that Lawn Care businesses in Ontario were advertising Fiesta as a NATURAL or ORGANIC product, a VIOLATION of Federal Law.
As early as 2010, businesses like Nutri-Lawn were releasing statements such as ―
Nutri-Lawn, North America’s leader in ecology friendly lawn care is very excited to offer its customers the best NATURAL Weed Control product to hit the market since the Ontario-wide ban of pesticides, one year ago.
Fiesta is a NATURAL alternative to the traditional three-way chemical herbicides such as Killex that have been banned in the province of Ontario.
The New Revolutionary, Effective, All NATURAL Guaranteed Weed Control !
Use ORGANIC Herbicides for NATURAL Weed Control.
On such treatment is our FIESTA Weed Control, an ORGANIC herbicide that is child and pet friendly.
Health Canada ordered these businesses to CEASE and DESIST.

Efficacy Of Fiesta Herbicide
Perhaps the most important difference is that, in order to be effective, MUCH LARGER AMOUNTS of actual product are required to get control of weed species than with the old 2,4-D products.
Fiesta may be ALMOST TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE on many weed species, and may be only SLIGHTLY EFFECTIVE on Dandelion and Black Medick.
Additionally, weed species such as Clover, Broad & Narrow-Leaved Plantain, Chicory, Ground Ivy, Mallow, Oxalis, and Thistle MAY RESPOND TO A FIESTA APPLICATION WITH MINOR DAMAGE ONLY, AND RECOVER RAPIDLY, even when the label rate is DOUBLED.
There may be NO PERCEIVED IMPROVEMENT with Fiesta use because it can be ALMOST TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE on many weed species, and SLIGHTLY EFFECTIVE on Dandelion and Black Medick.
In many cases, TOP-GROWTH IS MERELY SUPPRESSED within a few days after application, but ROOTS REMAIN INTACT, which explains the RAPID RE-GROWTH after a Fiesta application.
Many weed species recover from an application of Fiesta WITHIN TWO WEEKS.
In fact, tests have revealed that there is ACTUALLY AN EVENTUAL INCREASE IN WEED COVER, with ALL Fiesta rates, for species like Dandelion and Black Medick.
Consequently, AT LEAST THREE SUCCESSIVE ( a.k.a. BLANKET ) APPLICATIONS will likely be necessary in most situations.
Unfortunately, until 2012, three or more applications were NOT permitted by the label, which allowed a maximum limit of TWO APPLICATIONS PER SEASON with no less than four weeks between applications.
By 2012, research performed by University of Guelph was reported on Neudorff Web-Site ―
Fiesta applied at THREE-WEEK INTERVALS UP TO FOUR TIMES PER YEAR ensures control of large and hard to kill weeds. Research at Guelph Turfgrass Institute has shown that THREE BLANKET APPLICATIONS of 100 mL/m2 three weeks apart results in turf that is 95% weed-free.

FORCE OF NATURE — GREEN ALTERNATIVE — FIESTA HERBICIDE — 2012 04 17 — VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW — PAMELA CHARBONNEAU — UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, ONTARIO ( Report )
In fact, adequate broad-leaved weed control with Fiesta may too often only be achieved with an EXORBITANT 6 TO 8 APPLICATIONS, often in the same season.
Unfortunately, as of 2012, the Fiesta label allowed a MAXIMUM LIMIT OF FOUR APPLICATIONS PER SEASON.
Consequently, Lawn Care businesses that use Fiesta inform customers that IT TAKES UP TO THREE YEARS FOR A SUCCCESSFUL WEED CONTROL PROGRAM TO TAKE EFFECT … will customers wait that long ?
Fiesta is considered to be a DISMAL FAILURE as a weed control products because of the EXORBITANT NUMBER OF REPEAT APPLICATIONS REQUIRED EVERY SEASON.

Cost Of Fiesta Herbicide
Because of the 2009 PROVINCIAL PROHIBITION, the allowable products, like Fiesta or its agricultural iron equivalents, were NOT viable, efficacious, economical, or low-risk alternatives to replace conventional pest control products.
Consequently, Professional Lawn Care businesses became unable to provide ADEQUATE AND AFFORDABLE weed control on LARGE PROPERTIES, and instead, TEND TO MORE SUCCESSFULLY FOCUS ON SMALL URBAN PROPERTIES.
In essence, ONLY THE OWNERS OF SMALL PROPERTIES ( less than 2000 square feet ) can afford Professional Lawn Care.
And ONLY THE AMAZINGLY WEALTHY PEOPLE who own LARGE PROPERTIES.
Fiesta is STUNNINGLY MORE EXPENSIVE than conventional pest control products.
In 2009, the cost of an application of Fiesta ranged from 13 TO 26 DOLLARS per 1000 square feet, although by 2012, this cost had fallen.
This represented a cost that was UP TO 31 TO 62 TIMES HIGHER THAN KILLEX, a three-way phenoxy herbicide used for conventional broad-leaved weed control ― Killex was ARBITRARILY PROHIBITED by the Government of Ontario in 2009.
The material cost of Fiesta may range from 50 to 100 DOLLARS per average 4000-square-foot lawn, depending upon the application rate.
Consequently, Professional Lawn Care businesses have had to DOUBLE or TRIPLE the customer cost of an application of weed control.
By the year 2011, in jurisdictions like Ontario, the EXORBITANT REPEAT APPLICATIONS AND STUNNINGLY HIGH COST of Fiesta prompted Professional Lawn Care businesses to CONCOCT their own iron-based mixtures through the ILLEGAL USE of LOW-COST AGRICULTURAL IRON EQUIVALENTS.

Use Of Fiesta Herbicide
Fiesta may be better suited for LIMITED SPOT APPLICATIONS in Professional Lawn Care programs because of its STAGGERING COST, and LACK OF AVAILABILITY in the market-place.
Fiesta certainly CANNOT BE A MAJOR EFFECTIVE COMPONENT in a weed control program.
Problems with supply and cost have forced Professional Lawn Care businesses to UNWISELY SELECT THE LOWEST RECOMMENDED RATE OF APPLICATION, WHICH IS LESS EFFECTIVE.
Additionally, in jurisdictions like Ontario, some Lawn Care businesses have even resorted to using LOW-COST FERTILIZER-GRADE AGRICULTURAL IRON EQUIVALENT KNOCK-OFFS to replace Fiesta.
Or even SPIKING Fiesta with a tank-mix that contains 2,4-D.
This is ILLEGAL under Federal Law and/or Provincial Law.
According to Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ) of Health Canada ―
It is ILLEGAL to distribute, sell, or use a product for pesticidal purposes unless it is specifically labeled for such use.

According to Health Canada, the signal words for Fiesta are « potential skin sensitizer » and « may cause skin sensitization ».
By comparison, Killex may cause severe irritation to the eyes, and irritation to the skin and mucous membranes.

Toxicity Of Fiesta Herbicide
From the point-of-view of HUMAN TOXICITY, Fiesta is NOT SAFER when compared to conventional pest control products like Killex, a three-way phenoxy herbicide used for broad-leaved weed control.
BOTH Fiesta and Killex have a LOW TOXICITY, with Oral LD50 greater than 5000 mg per kg.
This value indicates that BOTH products, in their concentrated pre-diluted form, are SAFER THAN HOUSEHOLD ITEMS SUCH AS BAKING SODA, CAFFEINE, ETHANOL, and TABLE SALT.

Green Alternative Pesticides Are NOT SAFER
Both Fiesta and 2,4-D are NO MORE DANGEROUS THAN TABLE SALT.
The LEVEL OF TOXICITY has been measured as ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY ( LD50, rat ) for so-called green alternatives, conventional pest control products that contain 2,4-D, as well as household items.
All information concerning green and conventional pest control products was obtained from material safety data sheets.
Overall, the measurements have indicated that most green alternatives and household items are NOT SAFER when compared to conventional pest control products.

Health Concerns With Fiesta Herbicide
Since Fiesta contains a « metal ingredient », there will inevitably develop the same controversy that led to the demise of the fertilizer Milorganite in Canada in the 1980s and 1990s.
The « heavy metal » content of Milorganite was FALSELY ALLEGED by Anti-Pesticide Activists to lead to health problems like Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
Consequently, Milorganite was WITHDRAWN for several years.
When the use of Fiesta becomes more widespread, MALICIOUS Anti-Pesticide Activists may CONCOCT HEALTH PROBLEMS associated with IRON … such as Hemochromatosis.

Phyto-Toxicity Of Fiesta Herbicide
Normally, turf responds to an application of Fiesta by GREENING UP, which is typical for any iron-based product.
Fiesta may have the NEGATIVE SIDE-EFFECT of PHYTO-TOXICITY, which occurs when the application of a product can ADVERSELY AFFECT DESIRABLE TURF GROWTH.
EXCESSIVE USE of Fiesta, or its agricultural iron equivalents, may lead to a DETERIORATION IN TURF QUALITY AND DENSITY, which will, in turn, predictably lead to further problems with weed invasion.
Moreover, since Fiesta is an iron-based product, turfgrass leaf blades may DARKEN, leading to the classic « blackening effect ».
IRON BLACKENING is caused by the oxidization of iron particles on the surface of the leaf.
This effect is non-lethal.
Furthermore, EXCESSIVELY HIGH RATES of Fiesta, or its agricultural iron equivalents, WILL BURN TURF.

Staining By Fiesta Herbicide
Fiesta may have the NEGATIVE SIDE-EFFECT of STAINING NON-TARGET SURFACES.
STAINING may occur not only by using Fiesta, but also with its agricultural iron equivalents.
Conventional weed control products, like Killex, DID NOT have this problem before being ARBITRARILY PROHIBITED by the Government of Ontario since 2009.
As with all iron products, including fertilizer-grade materials, there are issues with STAINING of hard surfaces, such as white concrete and pressure-treated wood.
Such stains are extremely difficult, or nearly impossible, to remove.
Moreover, in order to avoid the staining of by-stander shoes and clothing, the Fiesta label recommends waiting until treated area has dried before re-entry.

Fiesta Turf Weed Killer is a bio-herbicide that is a great alternative [ ?!?! ] to traditional synthetic chemical weed control products like 2,4-D. [ Wrong ! ]
In fact, Fiesta Herbicide was registered and approved for use in the Province of Ontario in April 2010, and was quickly incorporated into weed control programs ― NOT BECAUSE OF ITS EFFICACY, but because of an Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION that prevented Professional Lawn Care businesses from using conventional herbicides that WERE TRULY EFFECTIVE AS WELL AS SAFE.

Fiesta Herbicide … DISMAL FAILURE !
Conflicts-Of-Interest
There are/were CONFLICTS-OF-INTEREST having investors, salesmen, distributors, and researchers of BOGUS Green Alternatives, like Fiesta and Sarritor, serving as PROMINENT-PEOPLE-OF-INFLUENCE who are responsible for making critical decisions on behalf of the entire Professional Lawn Care Industry.
The following organizations TREACHEROUSLY SUPPORT Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION and BOGUS Green Alternatives like Fiesta Herbicide ―
● Ontario Turfgrass Research Foundation
● Guelph Turfgrass Institute ( University of Guelph )
● Ontario Horticultural Trades Association
● LandsCAPE Ontario
Consequently, these organizations are the INSTRUMENTS OF PROPAGANDA FOR ANTI-PESTICIDE PROHIBITION in the Province of Ontario.
These organizations are composed of investors, salesmen, distributors, and researchers who are DIRECTLY INVOLVED AND PROFITING FROM ANTI-PESTICIDE PROHIBITION.
They will say ANYTHING TO ADVANCE THE SALE-FOR-PROFIT OF BOGUS GREEN ALTERNATIVES LIKE FIESTA HERBICIDE.
Their DESPICABLE PARTICIPATION in the Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION-CONSPIRACY has EXTENSIVELY DAMAGED AND DESTROYED the Professional Lawn Care Industry, ANNIHILATED most of its customers, thus ensuring that THOUSANDS of businesses became WORTHLESS and on the verge of being OBLITERATED.
They BETRAYED the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry.
They DESTROYED the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry !
Because of these organizations, the owners, employees, and families de-pendent on Professional Lawn Care businesses faced TERROR, DESPAIR, and DESTITUTION.
Their TREACHEROUS SUPPORT of Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION has also led to EXTENSIVE CARNAGE for Professional Lawn Care businesses, in the form of HORRIFIC FINES and BUSINESS FAILURES.
It is IRONICAL that people employed by these organizations have retained SAFE, SECURE, WELL-PAYING ANTI-PESTICIDE JOBS … AT THE EXPENSE OF THE JOBS THEY DESTROYED IN THE PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE INDUSTRY.
Moreover, the TREACHERY of these organizations will allow Anti-Pesticide PROHIBITION to finally SPREAD NATIONALLY, and even INTERNATIONALLY, for ALL pest control products.

University Of Guelph ― Instrument Of Propaganda
Pamela Charbonneau is an Anti-Pesticide Government Official, PAID-FOR-PROFIT by Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, at University of Guelph.
Charbonneau operates as an Extension Specialist for the Turfgrass Industry in Ontario.
She is paid by the Government of Ontario, the same government that ARBITRARILY IMPOSED PROHIBITION against pest control products used in the Urban Landscape on April 22nd, 2009.
Consequently, Charbonneau is ultimately ANSWERABLE to her ANTI-PESTICIDE MASTERS in the Government of Ontario, and she is expected to SUPPORT ALL SOCIAL POLICIES THAT IT IMPOSES.
Since the IMPOSITION of PROHIBITION, the University of Guelph has become the INSTRUMENT OF ANTI-PESTICIDE PROPAGANGA for the Government of Ontario.
ALL Government-Officials employed at the University of Guelph, including Charbonneau, have been told to TOE-THE-LINE.
In essence, Charbonneau and ALL other Government-Officials MUST SUPPORT PROHIBITION, or FACE TERMINATION from employment and SUFFER THE LOSS OF THE LUCRATIVE GOVERNMENT PENSION PLAN.
Consequently, Guelph Government-Officials, like Charbonneau, have been COERCED and TERRORIZED into PROMOTING MIS-INFORMATION about the effectiveness of Green Alternatives, like Fiesta Herbicide, that are, in fact, BOGUS.
They are required to create an opinion-climate that demonstrates the so-called SUCCESS of PROHIBITION in Ontario, regardless of the fact that PROHIBITION HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
Sadly, observers complain that University of Guelph and Charbonneau have BETRAYED the Professional Lawn Care Industry, and have become Anti-Pesticide LYING SACKS OF CWAP.

Do not apply more than 2 times per year.
Prior to 2012, Lawn Care businesses like Lawn Savers, in Toronto, were offering 4 Fiesta Herbicide applications.
The Lawn Savers web-site indicated great results with 4 applications as early as 2010.

VIOLATIONS By Professional Lawn Care Businesses ― Knock-Offs
Why bother with legal and registered products when you can LIE and CHEAT with LOW-COST FERTILIZER-GRADE AGRICULTURAL IRON EQUIVALENT KNOCK-OFFS ?
On March 12th, 2012, the Government of Canada warned the Professional Lawn Care Industry that any person found using/promoting an unregistered iron fertilizer for weed control will be subject to compliance and enforcement measures.
According to a Government Official at Health Canada in a letter to LandsCAPE Ontario Trade Association …
It has recently come to our attention that a number of LANDSCAPE ONTARIO MEMBERS are promoting the use of UNREGISTERED IRON-BASED FERTILIZERS for the selective control of broadleaf weeds in turf.
At the present time, there are ONLY TWO COMMERCIAL IRON-BASED PRODUCTS REGISTERED under the Pest Control Products Act ( PCPA ) for the selective control of broadleaf weeds in turf, including Fiesta Lawn Weed Killer Ready To Spray ( PCP No. 29534 ) and Fiesta Lawn Weed Killer ( PCP No. 29535 ).
The use of unregistered pest control products in Canada is prohibited as per Section 6 (1) of the PCPA; « No person shall manufacture, store, transport, import, distribute or use a pest control product that is not registered under this Act … ».
Accordingly, any person found using/promoting an unregistered iron fertilizer for weed control will be SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT MEASURES, as set forth by the authority of the PCPA and Regulations.
I am sending you this information for your consideration.
I would be most interested in obtaining any ideas or suggestions you may have to help effect compliance with our Federal Legislation.
I look forward to your comments or suggestions and thank you for your attention in this matter.
Violating federal law also resulted in a VEILED THREAT from the manufacturer of Fiesta Herbicide, Neudorff.
According to the Neudorff Media Release on April 4th, 2012 ―
Fiesta is the ONLY registered chelated iron pesticide product trade-marked and registered for legal use.
There’s a growing trend towards KNOCK-OFF PRODUCTS, these are not only ILLEGAL but also contain a lower quality chelated iron.
According to the Neudorff video also released on April 4th, 2012 ―
KNOCK-OFFS, lower-quality chelated iron added to a number of different mixes are now being seen in the market-place.
Businesses who buy those products and re-sell them to their customers are BREAKING THE LAW …
… giving customers SUB-STANDARD ILLEGAL PRODUCT, and RISKING THEIR REP if they get caught.
Some businesses are telling their customers they’re getting Fiesta, even putting up lawn signs that say Fiesta, but they’re substituting the ILLEGAL product in their sprayers, and risking FRAUD CHARGES, and a LETHAL BLOW to their reputation.
If you’re going the chelated iron route, DON’T ROLL THE DICE.

Fiesta Herbicide … DISMAL FAILURE !
VIOLATIONS By University Of Guelph
Why bother with legal and registered label directions when you can LIE and CHEAT based upon recommendations from University of Guelph.
Since 2010, Government Officials employed by the University of Guelph have recommended ILLEGAL AND EXORBITANT REPEAT APPLICATIONS of Fiesta Herbicide in an attempt to compensate for its DISMAL FAILURE.
Clearly, recommendations SUBSTANTIALLY EXCEEDING the directions for use of Fiesta Herbicide were CONCOCTED to improve the performance of a MEDIOCRE product, and to preserve the university’s VESTED INTEREST in further obtaining money to research this product.
In fact, the ONLY legal recommendations for Fiesta are found within its label, and NOT with University of Guelph.
Observers demanded that Health Canada launch an investigation for REPEATEDLY VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW against …
● University of Guelph
● Guelph Turfgrass Institute
● Pamela Charbonneau, and
● Rob Witherspoon.
Observers expected that those Government Officials found abusing their status and authority as university experts should be subject to compliance and enforcement measures, as set forth by the Pest Control Products Act and Regulations.

VIOLATIONS By University Of Guelph ― Pamela Charbonneau
Pamela Charbonneau is an Anti-Pesticide Government Official, PAID-FOR-PROFIT by Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, University of Guelph.
Charbonneau and the University of Guelph are the INSTRUMENTS of Anti-Pesticide PROPAGANGA for the PROMOTION OF MIS-INFORMATION about BOGUS Green Alternatives like Fiesta Herbicide.
At first, in 2009, Charbonneau said ONLY ONE application was required.
In 2010, Charbonneau said TWO applications were required.
Now, in 2011, Charbonneau is saying THREE applications are required.
In fact, adequate broad-leaved weed control with Fiesta is too often only achieved with an EXORBITANT 6 to 8 applications per season.
Unfortunately, until 2012, the Fiesta label allowed a MAXIMUM LIMIT OF TWO APPLICATIONS PER SEASON.
Here is a statement from Charbonneau in 2011 issued through Cornell University ―
An update on the Canadian pesticide ban from our friend Pam Charbonneau, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Turfgrass Specialist, from the Guelph Turfgrass Institute ―
A note about pesticide alternatives ― a lack of access to traditional materials has spurred interest in alternative products, such as high rates of ferrous sulphate for selective weed control, which is found in Fiesta Herbicide, sold by the Scotts Company, corn gluten meal, and nematodes for grubs.
Of these, the Fiesta seems to have achieved a MODERATE level of success.
From research at Guelph, it appears that 2 TO 3 APPLICATIONS during the spring and the summer can provide significant selective control of broad-leaf weeds.

VIOLATIONS By University Of Guelph ― Rob Witherspoon
On April 8th, 2012, Rob Witherspoon, Director of the Guelph Turfgrass Institute at the University of Guelph, and Pam Charbonneau’s Boss, issued the following statement ―
Research conducted at the Guelph Turfgrass Institute indicates that there may be some re-growth from the root of certain weeds but REPEATED APPLICATIONS AS NEEDED may eventually weaken the plant and result in complete eradication of the weed.

Report on Iron Chelates
Written by Rob Witherpoon
Government Official Employed by University of Guelph
As of 2012, the Fiesta label allowed a MAXIMUM LIMIT OF FOUR APPLICATIONS PER SEASON.
Additionally, the EXCESSIVE USE of Fiesta, or its agricultural iron equivalents, may lead to a DETERIORATION IN TURF QUALITY AND DENSITY, which will, in turn, predictably lead to further problems with weed invasion.
So, REPEATED APPLICATIONS AS NEEDED is not only an ILLEGAL recommendation, it is also DANGEROUS for turfgrass growth.

VIOLATIONS by University of Guelph ― Pamela Charbonneau, Again
On April 16th, 2011, Charbonneau issued the following statement ―
Weed control products and timing
Dandelions are now flowering in some urban areas near sidewalks and so on.
There isn't wide spread flowering yet.
Some of the slower to emerge weeds are showing up now such as narrow and broadleaved plantain.
There is no need to panic about applying the post-emergence herbicide Fiesta.
It works best on a broad spectrum of weeds if TWO APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IN THE SPRING AND THEN TWO IN THE FALL.

DISCOVER WHAT ANTI-PESTICIDE AND ENVIRO-LUNATIC TERRORISTS ARE DOING AND SAYING ABOUT SUBVERSIVELY IMPOSING THEIR LIFE-STYLE CHOICES AGAINST OUR SOCIETY.
Force Of Nature ― The Whole Truth From An Independent Perspective.
Communities and businesses are being HARMED and DESTROYED and RAPED by PROHIBITIONS pest control products used in the Urban Landscape, and other ACTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM.
We are living in the 9|11 Era of Anti Pesticide and Environmental Terrorism where at least ONE SUBVERSIVE ACT OF TERROR is Perpetrated EVERY SINGLE DAY by Enviro Lunatic Activists.
We are living in the DARK AGE OF ANTI PESTICIDE TERRORISM where sound science is trumped by FAKE SCIENTISTS, JUNK SCIENCE and UNVERIFIABLE SECRET EVIDENCE through FABRICATION, INNUENDO, and INTERNET RUMOUR ― scientific research PROVES that pest control products CAUSE NO HARM and can be USED SAFELY.
An informed public is better able to protect itself and its communities and businesses from so-called activists who are THE LEAST QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE ANY ADVICE about pest control products or the environment.
NORAHG is the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that seek to harm and destroy the Green space industry, and the well being of our communities.
NORAHG morally represents the VAST SILENT MAJORITY of people associated with turf and ornamental plant maintenance who are OPPOSED to Anti Pesticide PROHIBITION and the CLOSURE or ABANDONMENT of green spaces under the RIDICULOUS PRETEXT of somehow « saving » the environment.
NORAHG is a NATIONAL NON PROFIT NON PARTISAN organization that does not accept money from corporations or governments or trade associations, and represents NO VESTED INTERESTS WHATSOEVER.
NORAHG is dedicated to reporting the work of RESPECTED and HIGHLY RATED EXPERTS who promote ENVIRONMENTAL REALISM and PESTICIDE TRUTHS.
NORAHG pledges to deliver comprehensive reports that are worthy of peoples’ time and of peoples’ concern, reports that might ordinarily never have breached the parapet.
NORAHG was the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr. Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder.
Force Of Nature was launched by NORAHG for CONTINUOUS transmission on the Internet on January 1st, 2009 ― however, the VERY FIRST Stand-Alone FORCE OF NATURE Report was issued on September 19th, 2008.

On March 15th, 2010, Uncle Adolph independently launched The Pesticide Truths, an easy-to-use Web-Site that collects relevant reports of information right-off-the-press.
Pesticide Truths and Force Of Nature, in some ways, are like Google for everything concerning the SURVERSIVE ACTIVITIES of Anti-Pesticide and Enviro-Lunatic Terrorists.
