While many generic glyphosate brands promote lower input costs, a look at the numbers shows that farmers will need
more of a lower Acid Equivalency (A.E.) product to achieve the same weed control from just 1 litre of a Roundup®
branded glyphosate-only agricultural herbicide.
A.E. is the measure that defines efficacy; the higher the A.E. applied per acre, the better the weed control.
Some generic brands will promote A.I. (active ingredient) vs A.E.
Higher use rates needed for effective control with lower A.E. products can result in higher application rates,
which can increase costs and take up more room in the tank
