Article is long enough, has five inline citations to a U.S. government paper, therefore, no copyright violation, cites two other sources as further reading, hook is within guidelines, short enough, well said. See no policy violations. Permission for image is on file and has been reviewed; should show up at small size. Seems interesting enough; it may sound trite but I think many people are interested in plants and weed control. Donner60 (talk) 10:16, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
