Pesticides suck! I wonder if an international aquarium body would ever want to create an "organic aquatic plant" certification for aquarium plants? I guess that would make it tough to get through import restrictions though...

I read that article, too, Cristy. The plants were all from SE Asian importers. Article mentioned that European growers used other chemicals. No mention of anything grown in the US.
