World's First 'Food Grade' Organic Weed Killer
(CSRwire) CAMBRIA, Calif., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharm Solutions Inc. announced EPA
Registration for the Bio Chemical "Weed Pharm," the world's first food
grade organic herbicide. Weed Pharm, a non selective weed and grass
killer, whose active ingredient is 200 grain "food grade" vinegar, has
been the project of Pharm Solutions since early 2004. Pharm Solutions
manufactures the only USDA Certified Organic Pesticides in the world (USDA
Certification November 2006) and the "food grade" organic herbicide is a
natural addition to the organic line.

Catherine H. Daniels, Extension Specialist, Washington State
University comments, "Several years ago, scientists at the USDA-ARS
Sustainable Agriculture Systems Laboratory tested the ability of vinegar /
acetic acid to act as an herbicide. Initial results showed that 20% acetic
acid (200 grain vinegar) had an acceptable level of control against
certain weeds. The news created a huge surge in product demand and swamped
Extension Agents with public requests for information. In many locations
around the country we can only recommend EPA Registered products, which
created a dilemma for us because at that time there were no legally
registered herbicides at the 200 grain
RTU strength. Some companies sold products illegally or with misleading
claims: that just added to the confusion. Some people bought and used
illegal products: that raised safety concerns. In general it was a messy
and often frustrating situation." "The EPA Registration of Weed Pharm
solves these problems," states Susan E. Lewis, Founder and Pres, "and
enables states, cities, counties, municipalities and individuals the
opportunity to reduce synthetic chemical exposure without sacrificing
results." Weed Pharm will be available at Whole Foods, Smith and Hawken,
Fred Meyer and Independent Lawn and Garden Centers across the US, in 1
liter and 1 gallon sizes. Bulk sales are available in 55 gallon drum and
truckload quantities by calling Pharm Solutions Inc. at 805.927.7500.
