Default Glyphosphate brand question.

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.

Stop press: apparently they're both pro-biactive.

Roundup Ultra 3000 1ltr
Weedkiller. Unique biactive formulation quickly penetrates
the waxy surface of the weed's leaves enabling rapid absorption
of the active ingredients, thereby giving improved rainfastness
and reliability. Apply by spray or watering can. 1ltr covers up
to 3000 square mtrs. Contains concentrated Glyphosphate.

Maybe "Roundup" like "Growmore" is a generic name whose
right awere allowed to lapse.
