I just brought the stuff in. Here's the chemical breakdown as it's written on the bottle:

Roundup Concentrate
Poison Ivy & Tough Brush Killer Plus

Glyphosate, isopropylamine salt.....18.0%
Triclopry, triethylamine salt........... 2.0%
Other ingredients........................80.0%

The price was $25.63/quart. Last year I was finding it for around $18.00-$19.50 per quart.

If your stuff is the same makeup, what's the correct name and approx. price you're paying for what quanity?

The Crossbow stuff I used, last year, didn't react as soon and as completely as the Roundup did. I don't want to go that route, again, if I can help it.

Thanks again.

BTW, on the directions, it just says that pets and people may re-enter the sprayed areas AFTER the spray has dried.

Also, do not use Roundup on/near edible plants and feedstuffs for livestock.

Pretty much common sense stuff. This must mean some idiot sprayed his apples before he picked them for his roadside stand, somewhere in Numbnuts, Outer Swobodia.

The lawyers have done their part for humanity's sake!
