They are using essential oils
Check out the EPA's approved list of active and inactive ingredients entitled the 25B list. You will find ingredients that farmers have been using throughout time, there is nothing new here. This is nature at its best, using pharmacologically active constituents found in plants to act as insecticides, pesticides and herbicides.
I grew up in a very rural area in Ohio and would have greatly appreciated the aroma of Rosemary Oil being sprayed on crops instead of toxic chemicals.We should all be thanking Marrone Organic Innovations for their diligence and concern for the environment. And yes, you are going to see more and more products that can compete with roundup and maybe even tout a certified organic label.
