Is Prodiamine 65WDG-generic as good as Barricade 65 WDG?

I'm glad for the lower cost but does the Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) work as well as the Barricade 65WDG herbicide for $169? Why such a difference in price? Thank you

Answer:

Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) would be just as effective as the Barricade 65WDG.  They just have different manufacturers, otherwise the active ingredients and instructions are the same.  Pricing can vary on products as after the patent on a product expires other companies can then manufacturer the product and do not have to charge as much since the research, patents, marketing etc. was already done by the original manufacturer.  You can think of it as the "brand" vs "generic".
