Should work well in the near future.... as from what I read the "aerial application" of Roundup has been a failure ... not even getting into what environmental effects from it's use in such large scale applications my due ..... oh silly me, we should just ask.. Monsanto.. I'm sure they or someone has been doing a lot of large scale testing.. prior to it's use in South America....
