as some of you know, we have had very high disease pressure in our patch. i have come to the basic conclussion that because our soil had poor drainage and lack of oxygen. it had caused our soil to become anarobic. being anarobic the roots will die off, the beneficials will also die off. and the use of glyphosate only promotes disease to grow.i am not blaming glyphosate for our issues, but it did add to them. i believe.Glyphosate annihilates beneficial soil organisms, such as Pseudomonas and Bacillus bacteria that live around the roots, which you will see in the artical below. everyone should read this article as it can shed some light on alot of things if you may be having issues and use glyphosate. i hope this helps a few people with soil that was similar to ours. i do believe adding 32 yards of sand to our patch has helped out our issues along with heavy usage of many beneficials. good luck to every this season.
