The active ingredient in Roundup is Glyphosate and there are different strengths and uses for both Commerical and Residential use. There are Roundup products geared more towards professional use such as the ones listed below where the residential are under the Scotts brand. The percentage of Glyphosate, the container size and area needing to be treated all are considered when recommending the best Non - Selective Herbicide. The difference is the Roundup products we carry are below. Roundup Pro Concentrate (2.5 gal jug) * 50.2% Glyphosate - Basic Roundup/larger container * Mixing Rate varies (.5 fl oz - 10.5 fl oz per gallon of water depending on desired strength. See Table 6.3 on page 3 of label) Roundup Pro Max (1.67 gal jug) * More acid content than the original Roundup Pro * 48.7% Glyphosate *Mix 2 oz per gallon Roundup QuickPro (6.8lb jug or 1.5oz packets/ wettable granular) * Higher amount of Glyphosate PLUS surfactant to help with faster burndown. * Glyphosate 73.3% & Diqate 2.9%)
