Glyphosate Plus

The generic Roundup — a non-selective, systemic, broad-spectrum weed killer. It's taken up through the leaves and moves to the roots, killing the whole plant. Because it kills anything green, it's for bare ground, cracks, edges, and total renovation — never as a spot-spray in a lawn you want to keep.

01Usage

What it's for and where it goes.

Targets: Virtually all green plants — annual and perennial grasses and broadleaves. Non-selective.
Where: Non-crop and industrial sites, farmsteads, driveways/hardscape, fence lines, and killing off an area before re-seeding or re-planting.
Rate: Varies widely by weed size (label). A surfactant/AMS improves hard-water performance.
Systemic: slow (7–14 days to full brown-out) but reaches the roots — better than a fast contact burn for perennials.

02Efficacy

How well it actually works.

Excellent, thorough kill of most vegetation including tough perennials, because it translocates to the roots.
No soil residual — it binds and breaks down in soil, so you can replant the treated ground shortly after (its big advantage over the residual bareground products here).
Weak on a few naturally-tolerant/resistant species; rain within a few hours cuts performance.

03Best at killing

What it's genuinely strongest on in real use.

Everything green, down to the roots — glyphosate is the benchmark non-selective systemic: it translocates to the root, so it is strongest on tough perennials (bermuda, bindweed, quackgrass) that contact killers only burn back. Best real-world use here is total renovation, cracks, edges, and clearing an area before re-seeding (NPIC Glyphosate General Fact Sheet).
No soil residual — its big edge over the residual bareground blends; you can replant the ground shortly after. Slow (7–14d), and a few species are naturally tolerant.

04Dangers

What it can hurt — read this before you reach for it.

Signal word CAUTION.
Non-selective — drift or overspray kills your lawn, beds, and ornamentals. The number-one practical hazard; shield nearby plants and spray calm.
Eye irritant; avoid skin/eye contact. Standard formulations are toxic to aquatic life — use an aquatic-labelled product near water, not this one.

05🐾 Dogs & re-entry

Pet safety — toxicity and how long until a dog can be back on it.

🐾 Pet safety — read before you let the dog out

Toxicity: low. "Animals exposed to products with glyphosate may drool, vomit, have diarrhea, lose their appetite, or seem sleepy" — mostly from licking wet spray (NPIC Glyphosate).
Main exposure route: "Pets may be at risk if they touch or eat plants that are still wet with spray" (NPIC).
When safe again: no formal pet interval; NPIC's rule is off treated plants until dry. Because this is a spray-anything killer, also keep dogs from the browning-out plants they might chew. Default: fully dry, ideally 24h (Oregon State Extension, "Keep Pets Safe Around Pesticides").

General guidance. Confirm the label's re-entry interval and ask your vet; when unsure keep dogs off until fully dry.

06Storage

How to keep it, and keep it separate.

Original container, tightly closed, cool/dry, away from children, food, feed.
Water-based; protect from freezing. Long shelf life sealed — shake before use. 2021 fill is fine if stored well.
