  I have not noticed any differance between any brands I have used, applied at the correct rates I have had no problems using on similar hardstanding areas I have sprayed.

  Hello Ralph, I recently heard (I was on a pesticide course) that glyphosate was in the process of being banned from a few EU countries including France, and that the general consensus is that the process of banning glyphosate products will happen in the next few years -  mainly down to long term studies that suggest glyphosate is 'probably carcinogenic to humans'.

   

  The active ingredient should be stated on the product label of any chemicals you use. I've started to use Rosate glyphosate TF from pitchcare with very good results so far...

  Hi all, just to clarify glyphosate has not been banned, it has been given a license for the next 5 years. Glyphosate is the best & most cost effective option for controlling weeds, you sometimes just need to give it a helping hand. One of the biggest problems we find is people in hard water areas or spraying large/waxy weeds. Both of these problems can be avoided by using a water conditioner & a herbicide adjuvant. The water conditioner will stop the cat-ion exchnge lockup which happens when glyphosate or other weed killers come into contact with hard water. In short this can give you 20%+ better results. On top of this an adjuvant can help improve results by around 10-20% as it enables more of the chemical to be used rather than it drying or running off the plant.
