French Wine Growers Required to Use Up to 80 Percent Less Glyphosate/Roundup

The French health and environmental regulator ANSES said glyphosate will no longer be used in alleys between vines and fruit trees, Reuters reports. 

"Glyphosate would still be allowed under vines and trees where mechanical weeding was impractical or costly, and would also be permitted on crop farms that avoid ploughing to preserve soil fertility," said ANSES.

Growers must use 80 percent less glyphosate in vineyards, according to the regulator.
