    What are commercial vineyard spraying as a herbicide around their vines?

    Glyphosate isn't going anywhere.......the EPA and most Non Californian scientists are not on the lawsuit bandwagon......

    What Herbicide do you spray below your vines?

    I use Gramoxone, with my preemergent it works well....and is relatively safe for the vines....however it's only a burn down....and does not kill roots.. Otherwise Glyphosate....
