Reminds me of the post about cannabis and phytoremediation.

This thread isn't really about pesticides, but about herbicides...

While there are a number of plants that can be used as hyperaccumulators to remove metal toxins from the soil, is there any that remove or break down picloram, aminopyralid, & dicamba?

I googled it... Found this article:

So... Biochar?

algae?
That could be a use for the scummy pond water after an algae bloom!

The most successful methods in this study utilized methods which add nutrients to the soil with the intention of increasing microbial breakdown of herbicides, as well as support the health of the plants.
