Glyphosate is harmless to plants unless it's sprayed on the leaves of
plants and allowed to dry for about 20 minutes. Once it's in the soil,
it's safe to plant. If it rains too soon after it's applied, you might
have to reapply.

It's still the world's most used herbicide. It would stupid to use
anything else. As some guy in the past said, "The only thing we have to
fear, is fear itself."
