Pyralids in weedkillers are horribly persistent. They are in any manures after animals have eaten hay, or grass previously sprayed with the weedkiller.
It does not dissipate quickly, and can remain active in a heap for several years.
Here the effects are on peas, broad (fave) beans, beetroot, spinach, spring onions and potato plants.

$Measuring Brix Levels in Vegetables, Fruits – and a Flower | Surprising Results from No Dig Harvest Brix measurements reveal sugar content of vegetables, fruits, and juices. They are used by brewers, for example, to reveal how much alcohol will be in the wine or the beer. I enjoy testing the measures of sugar, in different seasons and weather. I show you a range of vegetables, fruits – and even a flower. Some of the results are not what I expected. These vegetables and fruits were harvested in my garden, mid-morning on 25th July. Homeacres, Somerset UK, no dig. I recommend the portable refractometer – its not expensive and not difficult to read. It measures up to 35% sugar.
