Funny you should say that. Wonder why so many state-ag-type
organizations specifically say that to kill some tough plants one really
must add a "non-ionic surfactant" to Roundup? I don't doubt that Roundup
has _some_ surfactant in it but I know that spraying it on English ivy
is pretty much a losing proposition because the waxy cuticle on the
leaves causes the majority of the spray to bead up and roll off before
it can do any good. My only problem, and the origin of the post, was
trying to identify an appropriate surfactant that can be purchased in
home rather than farm-sized containers.
