Good tip.

2,4-D was also a key ingredient in the infamous Agent Orange defoliant that was sprayed during the Vietnam War, killing many and leaving many others with lifelong chronic diseases.

Even using a surfactant, I'm not getting the same results with 41% glyphosate that I get with branded Roundup. I'm still scratching my head as to why...
