Are there different grades of Roundup?
Decoding Roundup Colors
Blue-capped Roundup Weed and Grass Killer contains 2 percent glyphosate. Roundup Concentrate Plus, with 18 percent glyphosate, has a red cap. Yellow caps identify Roundup Poison Ivy and Tough Brush Killer in a ready-to-use formula with 1 percent glyphosate and a concentrate with 18 percent.
Concentrations of glyphosate found in herbicides varies from 40% for commercial applications, down to 1% for weed killers marketed for home use. Pure glyphosate is actually relatively low in toxicity, products usually contain other ingredients that help the glyphosate kill the plants.
- Glyphosate 50.2%
- Round Up Pro is used in many situations from agricultural farming to industrial vegetation management. ...
- The Round Up Pro mix rate is 1-10.5 ounces per gallon of water depending on target weed.
Mix 1.5 ounces (3 tablespoons) of herbicide to 1 gallon of water to renovate an entire lawn, or to eradicate weeds and grasses that are easy to kill. For tougher jobs, such as vines or perennials weeds, mix 2.5 ounces (5 tablespoons) to 1 gallon of water.
Not every Roundup is the same. Read the label and follow directions to ensure you're picking the correct product for your intended use. Read the product label to make sure it's safe to apply around trees.
Roundup Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate has consumer grade labeling with low use rates while Roundup Pro Concentrate has professional labeling and allows for higher use rates, up to 10.5 fl oz per gallon of water.
The strongest concentrated formula is 360 g/l (litre of water) glyphosate which can be found in Rootblast, Gallup. (these two are concentrated weed killers) and some RoundUp, Resolva products. Always read the label making sure that it states 360 g/l glyphosate weed killer for eliminating those pesky weeds.
Despite consumer concerns, Roundup did not change their formula. If you believe the chemical makeup of the popular weed killer and herbicide compromised your health or that of a loved one, you might be eligible for a monetary award.
Always add ammonium sulfate (AMS) to glyphosate mixtures. Ammonium sulfate should be added at a minimum of 4 pounds per 100 gallons of spray mixture (lbs/100 gal) for most of North Dakota, although 8.5 lbs/100 gallons is probably best.
The highest amount of glyphosate was found in Quaker Oatmeal Squares Honey Nut, showed a shocking 2837 ppb of glyphosate – nearly 18 times the EWG benchmark.
What is the difference between Roundup and glyphosate?
Glyphosate is a chemical compound, while Roundup is a product that contains glyphosate. Some people who are not that familiar with herbicides tend to interchange the two items. Nonetheless, glyphosate is used worldwide by those in the lawn care and agricultural industries.
Hardscape Weeds
If weeds in your driveway, patio, or other hardscapes are giving you a hard time Roundup® Max Control 365* products are the answer. They kill and prevent pesky weeds for up to a year.
Always add non-ionic surfactant.
I know that Roundup already has some cationic surfactant in it, but adding some non-ionic surfactant does help improve the spreading and sticking of Roundup to the leaves of weeds, and it slightly boosts control from what we have seen.
Adding surfactants to glyphosate products improves the spreading of the spray over the plant and results in greater absorption, but does not address the hard water problem. So, a product like RoundUp Ultra that contains surfactant will be enhanced by addition of ammonium sulfate if mixed with hard water.
Roundup super concentrate works well in killing unwanted vegetation. Roundup Super Concentrate herbicide kills weeds and unwanted grasses down to the root. The product contains 50.2 percent glyphosate, which works systemically moving through the plant's vascular system to kill the roots.

Glyphosate and Roundup are not one and the same, after all. The active ingredient is just one part of a chemical cocktail that makes up the herbicide—and some research suggests that its complete formulation is more toxic to cells than glyphosate is by itself.

Is spectracide as good as Roundup?
The main difference between how Spectracide and Roundup work is that Roundup successfully kills the entire weed including roots while Spectracide, on the other hand, only kills the part of the weed that it touches. Spectracide may be safer than Roundup and it does not persist in soil or water.
The worlds most popular is also the world strongest weed killer. The winner is Glyphosate.
