Anybody aware of a good replacement, or do I need to go back to basic
Sodium Chlorate.

Loads of posts on line that Sodium Chlorate has been banned from sale
since 2008 and cannot be used after 10th May 2010 ..

Yet it is on sale on Amazon ?


The EU Directive banned it for use as a 'plant protection product' (i.e.
weed killer). As the overwhelming use of the chemical was for bleaching
paper, it may well still be available as a commercial chemical, just not
as a weed killer.
