Active Ingredients in Pesticides

Every pesticide label will have a way to tell what chemical you are buying. Many times people buy the lawn and garden products by the brand name. There is no way by reading the brand name whether you are getting the same chemical if you buy a different brand unless you read the active ingredient of the label. On this particular product this is a generic roundup and it shows the active ingredient to sodium glyphosate 41% right over here, active ingredient. Then it shows the percentage of surfactants and it shows the percentage of other ingredients which will be the water. This label is your way of knowing if you bought sodium glyphosate with one label and you can't find it at the merchant you are at. This is one way you'll know what product you are getting and you know that it's the same percentage or even stronger. Possibly do the same job or a better job.
