Anything with as high a percent of glyphosate that I can find. Tractor Supply usually has one with about 41% glyphosate.

Use glyphosate. It's much cheaper I'm sure anyways. I use Compare N Save brand

This….dont buy Roundup, buy generic 41% glyphosate. I don’t think roundup has glyphosate in it any longer.

Interesting. I dont use roundup that often but when I do it works. What issues are you guys having with it? Ive noticed this thread a few times on here. Are you using it in a bigger area?
I basically just have it in a pump up sprayer and hit visible weeds in my mulch beds. It works fine. I also spray the few weeds/grass that show up between my pavers around the pool.

You may have some of the older stuff that still has glyphosate in it as an ingredient if you don't use it that often. If the label is still on the container, the ingredients are listed on the label.

Killzall is pretty good. And I agree with you. Roundup is terrible now.

This is what I have. I think it’s about a year old. Like I said, I don’t use it often and I don’t have any problem with the weeds coming back. The biggest thing I get in my mulch pads are some mixed clover looking weed. It seems to kill it out.
But I’ll be honest, I really never have paid a whole lot of attention to what comes back. I only use it about every 6 to 8 weeks.

This. I find the cheapest brand that has the highest % concentrate of Glyphosate (usually 41%). I also do the same for 2-4D and mix them together every time I spray.

Checkout Do My Own's selection Don't know how they compare price wise for what you're looking for, but all my options start here and I shop around. End up buying through them 75% of the time

I've been using RM43. Already has the surfactant in it and has another ingredient that helps prevent weed growth. Says it prevents new weed growth up to a year but that isn't the case down here obviously but it does seem to last much longer than the usual roundup. Takes a little longer for the weeds to die but they will die.

works for me. If you're spraying it now, the efficacy isn't near what it is in warmer months.
Farmworks (Tractor Supply), Cornerstone, RM53, Ranger Pro, are all alternatives to Roundup.

Do the instructions indicate a temperature range for this product to effective? Seems too cold right now.

I also read the new Round Up formula soaks into the soil and kills plants nearby too. It never used to do that, so those that still use it, be careful where spraying.
quote:
Yes, newer Roundup formulas can kill nearby desirable plants because they often contain ingredients like triclopyr, diquat, and imazapic in addition to or instead of glyphosate, which persist in soil or move into roots, unlike traditional glyphosate which was deactivated by soil and needed foliage contact. These new ingredients allow for faster visual results but pose a greater risk to roots and can linger, damaging trees, shrubs, and vegetables even without direct spray contact if applied in the root zone, making careful application crucial.

You're mistaken. Glyphosate goes inert when it hits the soil. It only kills the weeds of the leaves it touches. Once those die it's done. It does not prevent any new weeds from dying or seeds from germinating. The new Roundup I have no idea, I think it might be Dicamba and triclopyr.

don't have a label handy, but this was the result of a quick search:
quote:
The optimal temperature range for applying glyphosate is generally between 60°F and 85°F. Here are some key points:
60 to 75 °F: Best performance is observed in this range, with most plants actively growing.
1
65 to 85 °F: Ideal for most post-emergence herbicides, including glyphosate.
1
Below 60°F: Weeds may be killed slowly, and applications should be avoided if temperatures are below this threshold.
2
For best results, ensure that the temperature is above 60°F during the application process.
