Default What is glyphosate?

Just an idle question, but is glyphosate
the same as Roundup?

I notice people on this group have suddenly started
talking about glyphosate;
I don't recall seeing it mentioned until recently.


Another important difference is the price. Ghyphosate is a generic name
of the most common weed killer ingredient and is always far cheaper than
paying for the same product under a brand name. Roundup can cost between
ten and a hundred times as much as generic glyphosate to treat the same
area!!!
