On the surface, many generic glyphosate products may seem like a budget-friendly weed control solution. Explore the differences between Roundup® brand herbicide and generic competitors, and discover the real deal in weed control.
Some generic glyphosate products promote a lower cost per gallon, but they often have a lower Acid Equivalent (A.E.) than Roundup brand herbicides. A.E. is the measure that defines efficacy; the higher the A.E., the better the weed control. So though you might initially pay less for generics with a lower A.E. you'll likely have to apply them at a higher rate for effective control, which can increase costs and take up more room in the tank.
Roundup brand herbicide is fully loaded with a premium surfactant formulation that allows for increased spreading, retention and absorption of the glyphosate, resulting in fast and complete weed control.
Roundup brand herbicide is the real deal because quality and consistency is a big deal to us. With our product made in the USA, we provide in-depth quality checks from the time the product is mined in Idaho and manufactured in Louisiana and Iowa, to the time the product hits the shelves. So you can be sure the product you're using is consistent from jug to jug.
