What's the difference between "Roundup Pro Biactive" and
"Roundup Ultra 3000"?

Googling reveals one is marketed by Monsanto and the other by Scott.

Presumably the original patent on glyphosate has expired
and they all make their own formulations with extra "magic
ingredients". So as to make you choose theirs over the
competition.

Scott's Website is pretty uninformative but from a quick look at
the Monsanto website Biactive has better sufacents, which at a
guess means it adheres to the plant better. Which it does using
two different chemicals.

Or to quote the website

quote

- "two adjuvants. Alone they offer excellent benefits, but in
combination the synergistic effect of these two adjuvant partners
ensures an outstanding perfomance.

Which makes it worth at least £20 a bottle, if not more IMO.

quote

" Novel technology
Roundup Pro Biactive was developed following many years of
exhaustive field and laboratory testing of a new surfactant
system known as Biactivator adjuvant technology.

Unique Biactive formulation gets more glyphosate into the plant"

The standard formulation probably has a greater tendency to run off the
leaf surface, stems and plant tissue generally.

Maybe its thicker as well, although not using cornflour
presumably.
