Just bought one gallon of Knock Out weed killer at Lowes. 41% Glyphosate for $41 dollars. '

The Round Up Pro is also 41% Glyphsate at $170 for two gallons.

They do have a Round Up Super Concentrate that has 50.2% Glyphosate for $110 per gallon.


Yep all of those will do the trick. For some reason I think the Roundup Pro/Super Concentrate (and others like Glyphsate Plus) have other stuff that helps kill all with fewer applications.

Oh and I'm pretty sure QualPro Glyphsate Plus is around $70 from domyown.com.

FWIW. The “other stuff” like in roundup pro is surfactant ( soap). Helps the chemical stick better for better absorption and better kill. Squirt of dawn in your sprayer will do the same thing. Don’t ever buy glyphosate from big box stores because of price. The 41% glyphosate off brand is $15 a gallon right now at tractor supply. Don’t get hung up on if you are getting 41% or 51% concentration. You are going to dilute with water anyway unless you just like wasting money. The 41% stuff is what most people that understand herbicide application buys if they spray some but don’t farm. 41% glyphosate mixed at 2 oz/ gal kills most stuff. 4oz/ gal for “woody brush”. Anything over 4 oz/ gal is wasting money. Glyphosate is a systemic meaning foliage needs to absorb it. Little to no soil residual.

Exactly. Spray heavy don't mix heavy. I've heard liquid laundry detergent (Tide) works better than dawn, but that's probably trivial.

You can buy Ranger Pro 2.5gal for about $50. Less surfactant than RoundUp Pro but 41% Glyphosate.
