Roundup Ultra, Tough Weedkiller, Concentrate Liquid, 500 ml

Product Information

A 2000 review of the toxicological data on Roundup concluded that "for terrestrial uses of Roundup minimal acute and chronic risk was predicted for potentially exposed nontarget organisms". It also concluded that there were some risks to aquatic organisms exposed to Roundup in shallow water. [26] Bees [ edit ] Domonoske, Camila (June 4, 2018).

Overall, this is certainly one of the best weed killers for getting rid of tougher weeds and tree stumps, but it does need to be used with patience as the results aren’t instant. Also, it offers quite good value for the price, with the 1 L bottle containing enough formula to cover up to 332 m² when diluted.

Whilst Neudorff might not be a particularly well-known company, their WeedFree Plus Concentrate is a powerful weed killer that works on relatively stubborn weeds.

Environmental and consumer rights campaigners brought a case in France in 2001 accusing Monsanto of presenting Roundup as "biodegradable" and claiming that it "left the soil clean" after use; glyphosate, Roundup's main ingredient, was classed by the European Union as "dangerous for the environment" and "toxic for aquatic organisms". In January 2007, Monsanto was convicted of false advertising and fined 15,000 euros. The result was confirmed in 2009. [61] [62] Ease of Application: When reviewing ease of application, I deemed any weed killer that came ready-mixed better for the average gardener, as less time will be spent preparing the solution. I also looked for products that came with different attachments – such as a nozzle and hose – to make application easier. Models with additional features, such as a built-in pressure pump and adjustable nozzle settings, were rated highest, as these elements made the product easier to use. Pumping the handle creates pressure in the container, and when the button on the wand is pressed, the weed killer travels through the hose and out of the nozzle. The output can be adjusted, producing either a spray or a fine jet. Like most weed killers I’ve tested, this product does contain glyphosate which isn’t wildlife friendly. Flower heads should be cut off weeds first, especially dandelions.
