Why is clopyralid a problem in LinGro compost?

Gardeners may inadvertently damage sensitive plants through misapplication of LinGro compost with clopyralid. Clopyralid is very slow to break down during the composting process. In soil, it has a half life of 2-14 months. When composted, the half life is greater than 1 year. Other chemicals appear to break down quickly in compost and do not present the same problems as clopyralid.
