Can anyone enlighten me,what veg is not affected by aminopyralid?
I have found sweet Corn is least sensitive. But others on our site said they did not grow as well as expected.
Brassicas are less affected and also courgette. I think it depends on the concentration. I have had problems with both. Brassicas get elongated leaves and courgettes the edges of the leaves point upward. Worst seem to be beans, potatoes and tomatoe, raspberries and rhubarb.
Are you suffering?
Given how much poo that did affect beans badly went under my sweetcorn and pumpkins/squash/courgettes this year I'd say that neither of them are seriously affected. Bad ones are beans potatoes adn tomatoes, no experience with rhubarb or rasps... but it will badly stunt or even kill beans of all sorts, potatoes (even thugs like PFA and Sarpo Mira) and otherwise vigourous tomatoes like San Marzano and Heinz 1484... I'm manuring heavily again this winter, my soil was in such a bad state I can't not do it, now the top few inches seethe with worms... I will be sowing feild beans as I go though, areas with bad growth will tell me where to put the tolerant stuff next year. Oh, onions and cabbages don't seem much affected....

From my experience, Rasps are wrecked by aminopyralid. Sweetcorn is not affected as it is a grass, and aminopyralid is designed to leave grasses unaffected. In high concentrations, squashes are affected.
