OK. Half-life being what it is, if we take the high end of that range, we've got something between 1/32 and 1/64 of the glyphosate left after three years. Such fractions might be nothing, or dangerous. Depends on how much there was to begin with, and how toxic the stuff is.
The dose makes the poison.
