Is there any difference in the cheaper round up vs more expensive?

I’ve always went the cheaper route but I’d buy the better stuff if it actually is a big difference.

The concentration is marked on the container.

The new roundup doesn’t even have roundup in it. It’s a combination of triclopyr(remedy), diquat, and some other stuff. Probably works fine, but maybe isn’t ready for replanting in a couple days like you could with a light dose of the old stuff.

The price.
I bought a 2.5 gallon jug of concentrated glyphosate at the coop that will likely last 10 years or more, if it stays effective. Maybe $60 or so

My triclopyr is going on 9-10 years. It still works. I have some imazapyr about that old also, still ok but maybe lasts three months instead of six.

Roundup has a surfactant in it that cheaper generic glyphosates don’t have

Serious question. Why are people still using Roundup when it is known for its toxicity and is harmful to everything. And if you are gardening and using, now it’s in your vegetables that hi grow so they don’t contain all of the toxins we get in store bought items. Just wondering.

I would bet a $100 that something you ate today was grown in field that used glyphos.

Most definitely. That’s why I asked why folks use it on their own property. That’s all.

I use it in a burn down cocktail along with other chemicals to burn down barbed wire fence lines and clear growth that I can't get to with my tractor and rotary cutter.

Round up is probably better …. It stines has the bigger (2 gallon maybe?) off brand (red and white) on sale for like $5 (regular $9/$10).
Same size round up is like $30z
Kills my weeds just the same

Buy cheap store brand (Home Depot/Tractor Supply) @ ~40%
Mix to manufactures rec's - Putting a quart/gal when it calls for 2oz/gal does not make it die deader.
Spray heavy rather than mixing heavy
Add surfactant (Dawn dish soap works fine) This breaks the surface tension and prevents the mix from just rolling off the leaves.
Add a scoop of MiracleGro to the sprayer A formulation chemist gave me this trick, adding fertilizer makes the plant pull in the herbicide faster and deeper, making it rain ready quicker, and having less wasted spray.
The added surfactant and fertilizer mixture makes a big diff
