    Q
    If Crossbow has been used on horse pasture, will the manure contain this weed killer?
    The manure is intended for the garden and will be aged. I am concerned about the safety of using manure from horses grazing on Crossbow treated pasture.
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide can persist in the soil up to 1 year after application so it would not be recommended to use any manure that could have been sprayed for an edible garden area.
