Deutsche Bahn wants to do without glyphosate from 2023

The use of (bio) herbicides is also being examined. If chemical substances – regardless of whether they are of biological origin or not – are used, their environmental compatibility must be demonstrated, for example their influence on the groundwater. Deutsche Bahn writes that it will continue to work the track area “where it is permitted with approved (organic) herbicides”. “In other areas we are also increasingly relying on mechanical-manual processes.”

more on the subject: Deutsche Bahn no longer wants to use the weed killer glyphosate and is looking for alternatives. But they could disrupt the ecosystem on the railway embankment – it’s about lizards, once again.
