And here I thought we were discussing chemical weed control systems on tractors. But I suppose we can discuss controlling invasive species. Of course, first we would need to establish that invasive weed species destroying native flora is not part of the natural order of things whereby stronger candidates for survival should displace less suitable flora with a lower chance for survivability a la natural selection. Myself, I’m not convinced anyone should be controlling weeds with chemicals; invasive species or not. I mean, are we going to try to say maintaining your native bushland is so important that we should risk the collapse of the world bee population so you can say “Look here, this is a bit of native ugly useless plant. Isn’t that keen?” or “Without this plant, the over specialized and genetic dead end of a beetle species will not survive”
