Rylan Thompson, our extension agent sent out this publication about Round-up:
Be aware that in 2024, the chemicals in the herbicide “Round-up” will change as will the uses for each product but the name will remain the same:
- There are 6 products labelled Round-Up: 3 still have glyphosate in them AS WELL AS other chemicals.
- None of the 6 is pure glyphosate.
- Each of the 6 has specific uses: None for vegetable garden; only ONE for landscape beds; and only ONE for lawns.
- READ the label CAREFULLY or risk killing wanted plantings!
The article explains how each of the chemicals works, uses for each type of Round-Up product, toxicities, and soil impact: Update on Roundup-Branded Herbicides for Consumers pub. W1237:
