Glyphosates should be the same regardless of brand. I haven't noticed
any difference between Round-Up and "non-Round-Up" glyphosate, other
than price of course. I usually compare price with concentration and
buy what's cheapest.

the period before cutting/mowing is usually a few days longer for the
generic than roundup that I have seen. Still works the same however.

figure if they have the same amount of Glyphosate, why not? But maybe

That's what I would think. Anyone have any experience with "Hi Yield
Kill Zall"? They sell that for pretty cheap at www.cooperseeds.com

The only difference may be in additives such as sicker-spreaders or
other non-actives. I buy the generic and add some cheap
sticker-spreader.

An additive that keeps the spray from beading up and rolling off the
plant. Often just a mild detergent to break the surface tension of the
water-based spray.
