Can somebody who has the box of a bottle of roundup concentrate please quote me the dilution rates printed there. Our box has got disposed of.
The measure is 20ml.

The type I use is RoundupPro Biactive – a litre for £20 – containing 360 g/litre glyphosate present as 480 g/l of isopropylamine salt of glyphoste so please check your label is equivalent to this.
I find the instructions slightly confusing – hope you can decipher the scan – but I put 125ml in my 5 litre knapsack sprayer and use it pretty sparingly.
Hope this helps.

I have always used 50:1 for glyphosate at 360g/l - This was got from the instructions on a 5l container of Roundup years ago. I usually get Glyphogan or Gallup (same concentration of glyphosate but not made by Monsanto) from the local Agrichem supplier - £18 for 5l.

That's the 5 measures to the 5-litre bottle.It sounds familiar. Thanks

Thanks for the price info - I thought I was being over charged that's why I mentioned it. Will have to investigate West Cumbria Farmers.
