Hi folks,

Found this question floating about cyberspace. Please respond to D. Robinson
directly and post. The answers should be interesting on both sides of the
imaginary line.

To anyone who is involved in the development of chemical and/or
bioherbicides:

Is it true that bioherbicides cost less to develop than chemical
herbicides? Is this because they require less stringent toxicological
testing than chemical herbicides?

Please help?!?
