An accomplished agronomist with extensive experience in the agricultural field, John Huntzinger is the owner of Agricultural Chemical Solutions, Inc., an Indiana-based company that he founded in 1997. Under John Huntzinger’s leadership, the Indiana company has grown into a successful crop treatment provider, offering a wide variety of pesticides and herbicides, including glyphosate.

Glyphosate is a herbicide that hinders the growth of grasses and broadleaf weeds by blocking an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolic activities of the plants. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered glyphosate as a pesticide in 1974. Multiple re-evaluations of the pesticide over decades have validated its safety, as long as its application aligns with the directions on its label.

The EPA published an interim decision (ID) for glyphosate in February 2020. The publication is the result of the agency's continuous reassessment of glyphosate to ensure its safety. According to the article, glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer. The document also emphasized relevant label changes to mitigate preventable hazards.

Glyphosate may pose ecological risks to non-target organisms, such as plants in the garden, lawn, or forest that are not the target growth. In accordance with the ID, glyphosate labels should contain spray drift management language to help users prevent inadvertent movement of the chemical beyond the target area. The ID highlights other relevant label components, such as non-target organism advisory language and herbicide resistant management language.
