What is Accord?
Accord® XRT II Herbicide is a non-selective herbicide manufactured by Dow Chemical that kills weeds and grass. It contains a high concentration of glyphosate, the same active ingredient as Roundup®, and it also includes a unique third-generation DMA salt.
What is the problem?
Accord contains glyphosate, a chemical that was classified as a “probable human carcinogen” (likely causes cancer in people) by the cancer-research division of the World Health Organization in 2015.
